Nicolas Dufourcq, Chief Executive Officer of Bpifrance, takes over the presidency of Global Industrie, the largest event dedicated to industry in France, whose 2023 edition will be held from March 7 to 10, 2023 at Eurexpo Lyon.
Placed under the high patronage of the President of the Republic since its creation in 2018, Global Industrie brings together over 2,000 French and international companies every year and showcases the latest innovations that will shape the industry of the future.
Global Industrie Director Sébastien Gillet's decision to appoint Nicolas Dufourcq as the show's first Chairman was a conscious decision to consolidate the show's institutional strategy, and to give it a strong presence in line with the challenges facing industry today.
This appointment also testifies to Bpifrance's strong presence alongside industrial companies, which are destined to play a key role in the French economy of tomorrow. At a time when manufacturers are more than ever mobilized to meet the challenge of environmental, social and technological transition, this is a strong signal that we are sending them, reinforcing the support and assistance measures already deployed by the State and the Regions.
" I'm particularly pleased to be taking over the presidency of Global Industrie, explains Nicolas Dufourcq. It's a strong concretization of Bpifrance's historic commitment alongside French Fab companies working to revive French industry. Innovation, decarbonation, job creation, regional development...: all the levers of recovery are represented at Global Industrie. "
" We are proud that Nicolas Dufourcq has agreed to become the first Chairman of Global Industrie. This is excellent news for the industrial sector, analyses Sébastien Gillet, Director of Global Industrie. It is a sign of the very strong synergy that is being created between companies and public players, to support the development and influence of tomorrow's French industry - and which Global Industrie is proud to be initiating once again.
