No-one in France`s business sector believes populist presidential candidate Marine Le Pen will win the presidency in the upcoming general election, the chief executive of France`s Publicis group told CNBC Tuesday.
"No-one in business really believes, at least in France, that Marine Le Pen will make it," Maurice Levy, chief executive of Publicis, told CNBC on Tuesday.
Elections for the new French president are due to take place in a two-round process beginning in April and ending in May.
Le Pen, leader of the anti-immigration National Front party, has promised to renegotiate the terms of France`s membership of the European Union if elected president, though her chances of success appear limited.
The chief executive stressed France has been the number one country on the continent in terms of supporting tech start-up companies and expected around 5,000 start-ups to attend this year.
