GLOBAL INDUSTRIE 2022 at a time ofresponsible reindustrialization
GLOBAL INDUSTRIE, the only event in France to cover industry as a whole(ecosystem, value chain and user markets), is focusing all its resources to serve thewave of reindustrialization which is currently reshaping the sector in France. The
exhibition will therefore make responsible reindustrialization the central theme ofits 2022 edition.
With the presidential election a few months away, the whole French political class is united
on one point: reindustrialization. The Covid 19 pandemic has not only highlighted the urgent
need to restore national economic sovereignty but also boosted the underlying trend
towards bringing home part of the country’s productive base which began a few years ago.
The 35 billion Euros of financial aid in the France Relance recovery plan devoted to industry
is not unrelated to this upturn in investments, which returned to their pre-pandemic level in
2021.
Better still, in a reversal of the deindustrialization which has hit France over the past forty
years (two million industrial jobs were lost between 1980 and 2010), in 2021 there weretwice as many site openings (53) as closures (24, down 43 % over the first nine months ofthe year compared to 2019), not to mention the extension of the capacity of around thirty
existing sites. All sectors are concerned, as are all regions1. A trend is emerging: many ofthese new industrial facilities prioritize the environment, short production chains, recyclingor the circular economy. In France, it is thus now time for responsible reindustrialization.
“GLOBAL INDUSTRIE is committed to assisting in this major change in the sector
and is devoting all its resources and its energy to supporting the movement
towards the relaunching of the French economy and industry.”
Sébastien Gillet, Exhibition Director

Thus, from the 17th to the 20th of May 2022, GLOBAL INDUSTRIE Paris will be held under thebanner of competitive and responsible reindustrialization, the theme of this new edition
presented in all its aspects: technological (digitalization - particularly in the ArtificialIntelligence and Cybersecurity Villages, automation, etc.), ecological (ecological transition,energy transition, etc.), territorial (relocation, success stories, etc..), political(reindustrialization strategies, etc.), managerial (reorganization of companies and working
methods, etc.), and human (training, employment, etc.).

The four highlights of 2022
Golden Tech
The leading industrial event in France, GLOBAL INDUSTRIE will in 2022 host a completely
new competition highlighting the excellence of twelve professions in industry (welder,milling machine operator, automation data manager, robotics engineer, etc.).
Just as the greatest chefs have the Bocuse d’Or, the best professionals in industry now have
the Golden Tech, a competition in which candidates will have to demonstrate their technicalknowledge, dexterity and know-how on a particular theme.

GI Awards
Improvement of performances, optimization of production equipment, development of CSR
values... Since 2018, the GLOBAL INDUSTRIE Awards have distinguished the innovations
presented by exhibitors at the exhibition. Once again this year, the jury made up ofjournalists and industrial experts will be examining entries rigorously and relevantly toidentify the products or services presenting a genuine technical and/or technologicaladvance.

GI Avenir
More than ever in this period of industrial euphoria, to meet companies’ growthrequirements, GLOBAL INDUSTRIE will endeavor to highlight the rich source of employment
represented by French industry, unfortunately still too widely unrecognized.
Via GI Avenir, a service entirely dedicate to employment, training and the attractiveness ofjobs in industry, GLOBAL INDUSTRIE aims to emphasize professional know-how, reflect thewealth of careers, promote the professions of the future and highlight the jobs available.
Several complementary facilities will be made available to HR managers, job seekers andyoung graduates:
 Job dating: bringing together around thirty exhibiting companies or visitors on a reallife stand over a period of three days. A recruitment platform will be available tosubmit job offers and CVs
 Visitor trails
 Guided tours
 Job demos

GI Conferences
Master classes, keynotes, round tables.... A rich program of conferences divided between
two dedicated rooms will bring together experts, manufacturers and political leaders todiscuss the main themes of concern to the industrial world: reindustrialization, green
technology, AI, cybersecurity, etc.
