A force for recovery in France,
Global Industrie successfully kicks off the postholiday period in industry and offers a TRUE
moment of reunion!
The first industrial event after the summer break, the Global Industrie exhibition is a springboard for all
players in the sector. Reactivating contacts and initiating the recovery, this third edition, which took
place from the 6th to the 9th of September 2021, is and will remain the one of human, technical andpolitical reunions! It provided an injection of positivity with an ambition shared by everyone: boosting
the economy.

An essential event in the national political calendar

With industry being one of the main driving forces for recovery, Global Industrie now more than everrepresents an essential event in the political calendar. The exhibition thus hosted a meeting of theConseil National de l’Industrie, a key political event attended by the Prime Minister Jean Castex and theMinister Delegate to the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Recovery, in charge of Industry, Agnès
Pannier-Runacher. The presence of numerous regional and local elected representatives, including
Laurent Wauquiez, President of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region, and Bruno Bonnell, Deputy for theRhone, among others, demonstrates that the exhibition is also an important point of contact between
local government and national industrial policy.

A strong sign that French industry is investing

Contributing to the post-Covid recovery and reindustrialization was one of the ambitions of this editionof Global Industrie. Happy to meet up again, all the exhibitors were at last able to re-establish contacts
and get started on the future with better visibility. Although uncertainties remain, such as supplies of raw
materials, the feedback is encouraging and demonstrates a willingness to invest in new production
equipment or new solutions which will allow companies to be more competitive. As proof of this, France
has this year broken the record for new factory projects with 192 installation projects recorded in thefirst half of 2021, a figure up by 84 % compared to 2020!

The exhibition of new developments and technical and industrial challenges

The only industrial event on this scale in France, Global Industrie brought together no less than 1500
exhibitors in 15 different sectors. A wealth and diversity of companies which enabled numerous visitors
to find new partners, concretize their projects or sign contracts.
This year a topical theme, the ecological transition, was highlighted with the combination of a specialized
offer, a GI Green Solutions area offering solutions for industrial production and services, a dedicatedpathway, conferences and a trophy.
Recognized as a benchmark by professionals, the Global Industrie Awards rewarded seven companies fortheir innovations.

In addition, Florence Robin, co-founder and President of LIMATECH, received the Special Award for
Women in Industry (organized in partnership with the magazine Alliancy).
As an ultimate mark of recognition, all eight winners were congratulated by the Minister of the Economy,
Finance and Recovery, in charge of Industry, Agnès Pannier-Runacher, in her closing speech at the end ofthe ceremony.
Another major challenge is that of employment and attractiveness of jobs in industry, which theexhibition rallied to promote once again with GI Avenir, designed to support companies in their searchfor human resources. No less than 272 job offers were presented and 211 CVs were displayed. In addition,
36 companies took part in Job Dating sessions organized over three days.

Towards the normalization of “phygital” mode

By presenting its event in hybrid mode, both physical and digital, Global Industrie provides an answer tothe needs, expectations and practices of the exhibition’s visitors. With live broadcasts of key moments,broadcasting of conferences, feedback, first-hand accounts but also business meetings (more than 500
meetings scheduled during the exhibition), Global Industrie offers its visitors and exhibitors multiple channels
enabling them to do business and to better highlight their activity and their sector. This combining ofessential face-to-face meetings with the possibilities offered by digital technology was a great success!
The figures speak for themselves with nearly 40,000 views including 21,000 connections over the whole periodof the exhibition!
