Macron’s focus should be on making sure that France’s existing AI successes like Mistral, Owkin, and Bioptimus have the right business environment for scaling and internationalizing, closing big initiatives with big corps/institutions rather than launching yet another public-sector initiative.

Instead of reinventing the wheel with new government programs, why not double down on making these companies world leaders?
