France and South Korea invest to support the film and audiovisual industry

Euronews Portugal7 September 2026 at 13:13

France and South Korea announced a joint investment of one billion euros over five years to support the film and audiovisual industry. The announcement was made by the respective heads of state, French President Emmanuel Macron and his South Korean counterpart Lee Jae-myung.

The objective of this investment is to strengthen a sector that is undergoing profound transformations. According to the article, the film and audiovisual industry is currently facing a "revolution" driven by Artificial Intelligence, which has been significantly altering content production and distribution methods.

This cooperation agreement between the two countries comes at a time when both France and South Korea are seeking to ensure that their cultural industries can compete and adapt to the new technological realities imposed by AI. The investment aims to provide the sector with the necessary resources to face these challenges.

Not Luxembourg, not Switzerland: this EU country attracts more and more Europeans and pays three times (or more) than Portugal

Denmark stands out in the European Union as an attractive destination for European workers, with an average annual salary of 71,565 euros in 2024, almost three times the 24,818 euros in Portugal, according to Eurostat data. The country has a 37-hour work week, five weeks of annual leave, and a public healthcare system with no direct payment, but has the highest cost of living in the EU (140% of the EU average) and high taxation that funds public services. Foreign workers represent about 12% to 13% of the Danish workforce, with demand in areas such as engineering, information technology, healthcare, construction, and green energy. English allows people to apply for international opportunities, but proficiency in Danish is required in many roles, with free municipal language learning programs available.

Jaguar Land Rover will cut four thousand jobs over the next two years

Jaguar Land Rover will eliminate four thousand jobs over the next two years through voluntary redundancies, responding to fierce competition from cheaper Chinese manufacturers, a cyberattack, and tariffs imposed by the United States under Donald Trump. The British company, controlled by Tata Motors, intends to cut costs by 1.9 billion euros and production to around 300,000 vehicles annually. Despite the cuts, JLR maintains plans to invest 20 billion euros over five years in electrification and digital technologies, while also launching five new products in the next 12 months. The manufacturer employs 30,000 people in the UK, out of a total of 40,000 employees globally.
