This report aims to measure the economic impact of the PFTHD in terms of investment and employment, but also in terms of the attractiveness of territories. It analyzes the socio-economic impacts of the rollout and assesses the governance of this rollout by the public authorities. This ex-post evaluation report was carried out at the request of the government and the European Commission by a committee of stakeholders and a scientific council composed of experts and professionals.
