Aeronautics

In the face of increasing foreign competition, maintaining France’s industrial position on the world market depends on mastering technological innovation and improving competitiveness.

With major aircraft and equipment manufacturers (Airbus, Safran, Dassault), 300,000 direct and indirect jobs and more than 1,000 companies in France, the aeronautics industry is recovering rapidly from the economic crisis and is benefiting from unprecedented demand. Energy and environmental concerns are driving the development of more fuel-efficient models.

Opportunities from the global ecological transition will require integrating new skills and cutting-edge digital technologies into a sector dominated by small companies with limited resources. Tensions in the electronics and raw materials markets, along with the availability of skilled personnel, are additional challenges that must be addressed.
