Dassault Aviation renews agreement to support SMEs

E ric Trappier, Chairman and CEO of Dassault Aviation, and Florence Parly, French Minister of the Armed Forces, have also signed the renewed agreement between Dassault Aviation and the Ministry of the Armed Forces for long-standing policy of supporting the hundreds of SMEs which partner it on military programmes.”

The French industrial network of which Dassault Aviation is part has been growing for decades, gaining and sharing knowledge, ways of working, business rules and design and production tools that are invaluable and must absolutely be protected. “These competences, which stem from the production of various generations of aircraft since 1945, are synonymous with technological sovereignty, as few countries have them. They are also synonymous with growth: as an example, more than 150 French SMEs have been offered development opportunities in connection with the Rafale contract in India.”
