Pierre-Jean Malgouyres at LaRef 2025, advocating for the impact and importance of French companies abroad
Last week, our CEO, Pierre-Jean Malgouyres, joined fellow entrepreneurs at LaRef 2025. La Rencontre des Entrepreneurs de France is the premier event for leaders shaping France’s economic future.
As an active member of Medef International, Pierre-Jean engaged in pivotal discussions with Jean-Noël Barrot, Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, highlighting the critical role of French companies abroad (Entreprises Françaises de l’Étranger, or EFE).
Why do French companies abroad matter? Here’s what Pierre-Jean shared with Minister Barrot and other participants:
● To boost foreign trade, driving exports and economic growth.
● To promote French expertise, showcasing innovation and savoir-faire worldwide.
● To build global business and economic partnerships, reinforcing France’s influence, soft power, and attractiveness.
Proud to be among the first companies to receive the EFE Label, Archetype Group is leading the way in sustainable construction. We are committed to delivering 100% green buildings by 2032 in every country we operate in, while championing French excellence in architecture and engineering across our 20 offices.
