Opportunities exist for U.S. companies with innovative technology and a significant reputation on the European scene. It is preferable to have business in other European markets before entering the French market. The fact that a U.S. technology succeeds in other European markets is an important pledge of guarantee for French companies. It is important to understand that because of the small size of the majority of businesses in France, the level of financial risk that those companies can take is low. Therefore, the decision making is slow and complicated.
