New foot call. The American vaccine specialist Moderna wishes to open a factory in France, indicates its CEO Stéphane Bancel, interviewed by BFM Business on Wednesday September 13. He made a proposal to this effect in the spring to the French authorities. “It is a proposal for a factory project in France with, as we did in England, Canada or Australia, vaccine supply contracts”explains the CEO.
The opening of an RNA vaccine research and production center in the United Kingdom, announced in June 2022, was in return for an order for vaccines over a decade from the United Kingdom from Moderna, Le Figaro then highlighted. A way for the biotech specialist to secure its outlets. “We managed to reach agreements with England, Australia and Canada who committed to us over the long term over ten years against the opening of a factory in their countries. I hope we will also be able to do that in France.”confirms the manager of French nationality.

This proposal from the American company to the French government is not the first, confirms Stéphane Bancel. For example, he participated in the Choose France summit in July 2021. For the moment, the proposal made to the government has not yet obtained a firm response. “Discussions with France continue. I hope we will end up succeeding”, indicates Stéphane Bancel. France can hardly decide alone to pre-order pharmaceutical production without involving its European partners. This undoubtedly complicates negotiations between the pharmaceutical group and the French government.
