Summary
The government is investing heavily in artificial intelligence: more than €109 billion committed by the private sector and €200 billion at the European level. All of this is part of the “Dare to AI” plan, launched in early July 2025 to make AI accessible to all French companies by 2030.
What is the “Dare to AI” plan?
The national “Dare to AI” plan aims to democratize the use of artificial intelligence in all French companies, particularly SMEs and mid-cap companies, which are lagging behind (only 13% of them currently use AI).
It is based on three main areas:
- Raising awareness: creation of a network of 300 AI ambassadors, organization of regional events, and annual launch of AI Business Day.
- Training: launch of the AI Academy at the end of 2025, a free platform offering tutorials and training courses tailored to apprentices, employees, managers, and job seekers.
- Support: implementation of AI Data Diagnostics (40% co-financed by the State via Bpifrance), a catalog of ready-to-deploy solutions, guaranteed loans, and acceleration programs for 100 high-potential companies.
The plan is aimed at all levels of digital maturity and seeks to remove barriers to the adoption of AI.
Why now?
France and Europe are experiencing an unprecedented acceleration in investment in AI:
- €109 billion in investment announced by private actors at the Paris Summit for Action on AI in February 2025.
- €200 billion at the European level with the “InvestAI” plan.
These investments are shaping an ecosystem conducive to innovation and competitiveness, offering companies a unique opportunity to take the plunge. But to take full advantage of this momentum, it is essential to understand the challenges of AI in 2025, topics that we explore in our white paper.
What does this mean for your business?
- Today: assistance, training, and financing are available to help you take action.
- Tomorrow: structural support and the massive arrival of generative AI will transform how AI is used.
The figures speak for themselves: a 20% average productivity gain is expected for companies using AI. But beware: not adopting AI now means running the risk of falling behind the competition in the long term.
