France is ranked as the world’s seventh largest and the EU’s second largest economy by purchasing power parity. As home to 31 of the Fortune Global 500 companies in 2013, France accommodates more Fortune 500 companies than any other European country. Being Europe’s third largest telecoms market, France offers an ideal environment for expansion in the data centre sector, as the country is recognised for its highly skilled engineers and technicians, along with its secure electricity supply and legal framework aimed for data protection.
