As the opening of Global Industrie approaches, the French industrial ecosystem is displaying remarkable energy and a fierce determination to showcase its capabilities. Innovations, exports, competitiveness: French industry is arriving at Villepinte more determined than ever. Join us from March 30 to April 2 to fully experience it.
On March 30, Villepinte will host one of the largest industrial events in Europe. For four days, 60,000 industry professionals will come together at Global Industrie to celebrate the technologies, know-how, and innovations that are transforming the French and European industries.
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, and is proud to present its latest innovations and the power of its ecosystem.” This demonstrates the confidence and ambition of an industry that is moving forward resolutely.
Despite a challenging international context, the competitiveness remains strong. “It is when we are attacked that the fighting spirit returns,” he points out. Across the country, the same observation is made: “In all my travels, the energy is there, and innovative SMEs are winning. The drive is there, the knife between the teeth.” Faced with global competition, nothing is guaranteed, but nothing is lost either. The new markets opening up, from Mercosur to India, offer major opportunities. “There are markets everywhere. The winning strategy is innovation and export,” insists Nicolas Dufourcq. To those who consider Europe to be on the decline, he responds directly: “For those who say we are a finished continent, I say: fasten your seat belts. Europe will show what it is capable of.”
Global Industrie 2026 will demonstrate this: an innovative Europe, a progressing France, a proud, competitive industrial ecosystem looking towards the future.
Looking to feel the heartbeat of the industry? Want to meet those who are inventing the future? Join us at Global Industrie 2026. The French Fab awaits you there.
