Macron bury industrial policy Montebourg – Challenges.fr

A new show to boost French industry. Emmanuel Macron launched its version of “France’s new industrial”, visiting the factory Daher, a very aerospace supplier high tech in Nantes.

” We want to meet this challenge of the future of the industry, turning you are taking “, launched the Economy Minister, before detailing its 9″ Industrial Solutions “at the School of Mines. He wants to promote “sustainable city”, the “transport of the future”, the “medicine of the future” or “smart objects”.

The operation was co-chaired by industrial Bernard Charles in head of Dassault Systèmes, and Frédéric Sanchez (Fives), which will have a budget of € 3.4 billion.

In fact, in Nantes, Macron officially buried the plan of his predecessor, Arnaud Montebourg. In September 2013, industrial “reconquest 34 plans” Montebourg had been launched with great pomp at the Elysee by François Hollande, who wanted to give birth to “inventions of tomorrow, the factories of the future, products tomorrow “.

Beneficial simplification

At the time, Harvard economist Philippe Aghion, who advised Hollande during the presidential campaign, we confided his great skepticism: “Many foreign experts consider this bureaucratic operation does not make much sense” . It was understood. 34, the number of reconquest plans rose to 9, to make them more readable, more in line with consumer expectations,” .

Macron simplification operation is beneficial, the projects launched by Montebourg often being close or redundant (for example, the digital hospital and new health facilities). Will enough?

Nothing is less certain. Our public support to industry and innovation is marked by the syndrome of administrative yarrow: 71 clusters, 34 Carnot institutes, 200 regional centers of innovation and technology transfer …

Cursed hodgepodge Montebourg

This entanglement devices has been branded by the OECD last year in a report on “innovation policies”: ” The new instruments have been created without a systematic reflection on the existing instruments to eliminate or adapt, deplores the international organization. The strategic coherence is quite low. This results in an overall efficiency loss of the audience response system. “

If he tried to clean up the device from its predecessor, Emmanuel Macron n ‘ has not launched a rethinking of French industrial policy. Gold “there is now a plethora of goals, visions and instruments” , says the economist Elie Cohen, a connoisseur of the subject.
