From the 16th to the 22nd of June 2025, the International Paris Air Show will showcase innovations in sustainable aviation. Hydrogen is at the heart of these innovations, and the Atlantic France region has several ambitious projects in the pipeline.

Atlantic France is a pillar of the French aeronautics industry. The region is home to 285 companies in the sector, including major prime contractors such as Airbus and Daher, and more than 28,700 employees. It is also a national leader in the development of both civil and military drones.

As a result, this strong industrial base provides the region with a dense ecosystem of skills that are invaluable for innovation in aeronautics. For example, Atlantic France is a key player in the development of composite materials, thanks in particular to Technocampus Composites and IRT Jules Verne. The region is also advancing in the field of liquid hydrogen storage, a key technology for the future of aviation.
