Archos has 100 employees in France. Apple has 50 thousand employees in the USA. If France wants more high-tech employees, it's quite simple, they have to invest in Archos to grow it to a thousand plus high-tech mostly r&d and manufacturing resource management jobs based in France, thus paying more taxes in France. It's very simple for the French Government to estimate the potential of the company and invest in a way they are sure to get their money back (with or without interests) quite fast, and by investing in Archos's growth, they enable them to grow and sell much more by themselves without the need of the Government's help.
