EU countries enticing companies to relocate from the UK

Japanese companies in UK 'already receiving offers from EU'
"Japanese companies based in Britain have already started to receive offers from other European countries and could postpone investment decisions if the government fails to negotiate a close economic relationship with the EU.
That was the stark warning of Haruki Hayashi, president of the Japanese chambers of commerce in Britain and the European CEO of Mitsubishi [makers of Princes canned fish, Branston baked beans and Batchelor's soup] who said businesses needed more than “general reassurances” if his country’s investment presence in Britain was to be maintained."

France 'to appoint Brexit team to lure British banks away from UK after EU withdrawal'
"France will set up a special task force of corporate leaders and politicians aimed at luring businesses and talents from London as the UK prepares to leave the EU.
The news comes after Paris’ financial district has unveiled an advertising campaign aimed to underscore the attractiveness of the French capital for business in the wake of the Leave vote with the slogan: “Tired of the fog? Try the frogs. Choose Paris La Defense”.
