As the opening of Global Industrie approaches, the French industrial ecosystem displays remarkable energy and a fierce determination to showcase its capabilities. Innovations, exports, competitiveness: French industry is arriving in Villepinte more determined than ever. Join us from March 30 to April 2 to fully grasp the extent of it.
On March 30, Villepinte will host one of Europe’s largest industrial gatherings. For four days, 60,000 industrialists will gather at Global Industrie to celebrate the technologies, know-how, and innovations transforming the French and European industry.
Nicolas Dufourcq, CEO of Bpifrance and honorary president of Global Industrie, emphasizes the importance of this gathering for the French industry. According to him, “the French industry recognizes the talent of its competitors, welcomes them to Paris. Nonetheless, it is proud to present its latest innovations and the strength of its ecosystem.” This statement confirms the confidence and ambition of an industry moving forward resolutely.
Despite a tense international context, the competitiveness remains strong. “It’s when we are under attack that our fighting spirit returns,” he points out. Throughout the territory, a common observation is made: “In all my travels, the energy is there, and innovative SMEs are winners. The drive is present, with a fierce determination.” Faced with global competition, nothing is certain, but nothing is lost. New markets opening up, from Mercosur to India, offer major opportunities. “There are markets everywhere. The winning formula is innovation and exports,” stresses Nicolas Dufourcq. To those who believe Europe is running out of steam, he responds directly: “To those who say we are a finished continent, I say: fasten your seatbelts. Europe will show what it is capable of.”
Global Industrie 2026 will demonstrate this: an innovative Europe, a progressive France, a proud, competitive industrial ecosystem looking towards the future.
