To our Europe Collection subscribers: For a limited time, beginning on 18 February 2025, members who subscribe to our Europe Collection will gain access to the 225 France Spotlight Reports in the new France Collection. You can use this time to preview the new data and evaluate its fit for your organisation. After the trial period, access will revert back to the Factsheet versions of these reports.
