Get on board to the heart of the french excellence industry

Paris, 27 July 2026 – The French Aerospace Industries Association (GIFAS) is launching GIFAS Cyber Boost, an operational programme designed to help SMEs and mid-sized companies across the aerospace and defence supply chain improve their cyber maturity.

According to Olivier Andriès, President of GIFAS and CEO of Safran: “Improving the cybersecurity maturity of our industrial value chain is an absolute priority.”

Supported by growth in air traffic, robust export sales and the ongoing industrial ramp-up, the French aerospace industry once again demonstrated its resilience and strategic role in 2025.

The 14th edition of Perspectives Spatiales (“Space Perspectives”), co-organised by GIFAS and Novaspace, brought together all the institutional, industrial and academic stakeholders in the sector on 18 March 2026 to discuss a central theme: “Dimensions of French space strategy in the new era for European space.”

Against a backdrop of increased competition and shifting global balances, the discussions highlighted a shared observation that is no longer in doubt: space has become a major strategic issue of sovereignty, calling for strong decisions and collective mobilisation at the European level.

On the occasion of the 2026 Singapore Airshow, GIFAS announces the opening of its regional office in Singapore, a strategic hub to support the development of French aerospace and space players across Southeast Asia.
