PARIS: For the sixth year in a row, Business France, the national agency for the international development of the French economy, will be running the French Pavilion at Aircraft Interiors & MRO Middle East, which will take place in Dubai on February 8-9, 2017.
As the only national booth at these shows, the French Pavilion should once again attract the attention of key players in the region, thanks to the diversity and know-how of its exhibitors. Increasing demand from the Middle East, as a result of the expansion of local airline fleets and the entry into service of new-generation aircrafts, can undoubtedly be satisfied by the expertise of the French companies represented.
The French aerospace industry is particularly active on the international markets, accounting for 13% of France’s exports. Its strength lies in its ability to take advantage of the growth in air transport; by placing continued emphasis on research and innovation (approximately 14% of the sector’s turnover goes into R&D).
Up to 20 French companies will be attending AIME/MRO. Among these firms, 12 are based in the Occitanie region of France and will be supported by the Madeeli development agency.
