French industry and economic sovereignty events

Overview

France is hosting several major industry events focused on economic transformation and sustainability. In early September, the Village de la Bioéconomie 2026 in Châlons-en-Champagne facilitated cooperation between researchers and farmers regarding biomass, soil health, and renewable gases. This was followed by announcements for Natexpo 2026 in Lyon, which seeks to mobilize the organic agriculture sector ahead of the 2027 presidential elections.

In mid-September, the focus expanded to broader business and strategic themes. Bpifrance announced the BIG conference in Paris for October, which will feature a significant program dedicated to the sport business sector and artificial intelligence. Additionally, MEDEF organized a debate titled ‘Puissance verte’ (Green Power) to discuss how the ecological transition and green reindustrialization can serve as tools for French and European economic sovereignty and geopolitical influence.
