France
Talent Passport, Innovative Economic Project
Public-body recognition required.
This Talent Passport category is built around formal recognition of an innovative economic project by an eligible French public body, which means the case has to be framed as a project rather than a conventional business plan. Public-body recognition is the gating step, and it is not granted automatically.
