Abstract
Discover the first report on the French business presence in Australia! Get insights and key numbers on leading industries and geographic opportunities.
Summary
Explore this landmark report mapping the French business presence in Australia conducted by the French-Australian Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FACCI) in collaboration with Team France Business.
This initiative, supported by the STAFE programme and the Consulate General of France in Sydney and Melbourne, offers the first qualitative snapshot of French-owned entities and entrepreneurs operating in Australia.
This first report captures detailed data from 342 businesses, revealing the scale, diversity, and economic impact of the French business community – from SMEs to multinational subsidiaries.
80,000+ jobs supported by French-owned entities
Representation across 89 industries
$2 million average turnover for French entrepreneurs (Entrepreneurs Français de l’Étranger – EFE)
30% of subsidiaries report annual revenues exceeding $100 million
This survey represents a valuable first step in mapping and understanding the footprint of the French business community in Australia. While Eurostat recorded 778 French subsidiaries in Australia in 2022, many organisations are still unaccounted for. A more complete dataset would allow for richer, more accurate analysis, ensuring that all industries and business sizes are adequately represented.
