Huawei has chosen the Business Park in the city of Brumath in France's northeast Grand-Est region as the venue for its first manufacturing plant in Europe, the global telecom leader and the local authorities of the French region announced in a joint statement released on Thursday.
 

The plant, with an investment of 200 million euros (US$245 million), will create initially 300 jobs and 500 jobs in the long term. It aims to produce one billion euros worth of mobile network technology solutions for Huawei's European customers per year, said the statement.
 

Brumath, situated 17 km north of Strasbourg, is a commune in the Bas-Rhin Department in the Grand-Est region near the border with Germany.
 

Huawei announced in 2019 its intention to build its first European manufacturing plant in France. Europe, which is the company's largest overseas market, is seen by company founder Ren Zhengfei as the enterprise's second home.
 

投资16亿，华为将在法国建首座海外工厂！

华为于周四（12月17日当天）发布公告官宣了将在2021年赴法国建厂的消息。按照华为的规划，这座工厂将生产芯片组和主板、4G和5G基站所需的零部件等，初步的选址在法国小镇布拉玛特（Brumath），预计将在2021年底开工建设，并在 2023年正式投产。
 

据悉，此工厂总投资金额达2亿欧元（折合约16亿元人民币），制造的产品将“专供”欧洲地区的客户，预计每年将可达到10亿欧元的产值。似乎是对华为的做法感到放心，近期德国也再次将对华为设备产品“开绿灯”的事项提上日程。
 

12月17日消息，德国内部通过了一项信息科技的安全法案，允许德国的相关电信运营商使用来自华为等外国企业的产品及技术，但是要求符合当地的安全规定。

早在今年2月底，华为就对外透露了该司在欧洲的建厂计划。而在此之前，华为也在欧洲做了充足准备。据牛津经济研究院11月初发布的报告，在欧洲专利局2019年的专利申请数量排名中，华为专利申请排在第一位；此外，华为还积极扩大研发投入，在欧盟2018/2019年工业研发投资排名第5。
