Business France to attend AIME/MRO trade shows

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).
