France enters the top 10 at 5.93 — a meaningful rise from outside the top 10 in earlier publications. France's strength is private-sector hosting (.fr raw 0.58, fourth-best in the EU27, driven by OVHcloud, Scaleway, Gandi). All other pillars sit mid-tier. No catastrophic weakness; no dramatic strength either.

Strengths

  • Strong private-sector hosting — .fr raw rating 0.58, with OVHcloud / Scaleway / Gandi well-represented. Among the largest EU27 economies, France has the best domestic-hosting ratio after Germany.
  • Solid sovereign browser share — 18.44% Firefox + Opera, top quartile.
  • Public Sector Health at 6.67 — gouvernement.fr and bundespraesident-equivalents are EU-hosted; only paris.fr (Fastly) and elysee.fr (Cloudflare) hold the score below the perfect-10 cluster.

Weaknesses

  • Per-capita developer density of 2.85 — mid-tier; despite a large absolute developer base, France's per-capita ratio is in the EU27 middle.
  • Linux desktop share of 3.82% — at the EU27 mean; no grassroots edge.

Outlook

France's policy framing (national sovereignty, "EuroStack") is strong on paper, and the private-sector hosting numbers show real domestic-cloud investment. The pillar with the most headroom is developer density. Continued investment in OVHcloud / Scaleway is the lever to push France above 6.0.

Historical context

2020 baseline

In 2020, France was a "leader," characterized by an ambitious, proactive, and explicitly geopolitical agenda, backed by an extensive legal and institutional framework for open source software.

2024 progression

France has deepened its high-level commitment. The government's Open Source Software and Digital Commons Action Plan (2021) and the creation of the Free Software Council in 2022 institutionalize its strategy. It also championed the "European Initiative for Digital Commons" during its 2022 EU presidency.
