Some 400 SMEs/SMIs will be featured at the French Aerospace Suppliers space during the Le Bourget Paris Air Show 2009. The grouping constitutes the first company collective to attend the Paris Air Show. The world’s biggest trade show dedicated to aerospace will give these companies the opportunity to show off their new technologies in an area of more than 4,000 square meters from June 15 to 21, 2009.

This year the international event, bringing together aerospace professionals, will give the entire area of Hall 4 to the suppliers of the French industry in the sector. About 400 SMEs/SMIs and three aerospace competitiveness clusters, ASTECH, AEROSPACE Valley and EMC2, will be presenting their products and technical innovations. They will be grouped together under the label “French Aerospace Suppliers,” with the aim of promoting the know-how of businesses in the sector. Federated by the various Chambers of Commerce and regional players (CENTRECO, AREX PICARDIE, Chamber of Commerce and Industry [CCI] of Rhône Alpes, the Pays de la Loire mixed economy company, the Midi Pyrénées and Aquitaine regional CCIs and the CCIs of Paris, Versailles and Seine et Marne), these companies are representative of France’s main regions.

The professionalism, dynamic thrust and capacity for innovation of these French SMEs/SMIs are well known, for they have made a considerable contribution to the success obtained by France’s aerospace industry, whose principal aircraft builders are famous throughout the world. In order to provide continuous information on these companies, a permanent promotional space has been set up on the initiative of the Chambers of Commerce and Industry in the form of a website. This bilingual portal for exchanges between aerospace professionals (www.espace-aeronautique.com) groups together more than 380 SMIs. Apart from a comprehensive directory and some highly useful links, it also provides information on international events likely to interest specialists in the sector.

French companies are assuredly at the leading edge of their technologies. Check out the aerospace experts in Hall 4 at the Le Bourget Paris Air Show, from June 15 to 21.
