Lilium has confirmed that it is in advanced discussions with the French government on plans to expand its production capacity with an industrial footprint in France and on potential government subsidies and loan guarantees.
Following French government announcements of the talks at the Choose France Summit in Versailles on May 13, Lilium is currently evaluating several possible sites in France. Those discussions are expected to reach a conclusion in the coming weeks.
A statement from Lilium explains the decision to look at expansion in France, stating ""Lilium is attracted by France’s well-established aerospace industry, expertise in electric mobility, highly skilled workforce, and supportive government environment.
""With an estimated total future investment of up to €400 million over several years, Lilium would have the potential to create up to 850 new direct jobs with this expansion of its industrial footprint.""
