SECURING OUR COLLECTIVE ADVANTAGE IN FRANCE

NEWSLETTER #19 - MARCH 2025

Dear all,

As spring is around the corner, the ADS Toulouse team remains excited to embrace a year full of key moments and opportunities for growth and collaboration in the aerospace, defence, and space industries. This year promises to be an important chapter in our mission to support and strengthen our members, providing them with enhanced business prospects and greater connections within Europe and beyond.

Some of the major highlights of 2025 will be the Paris Airshow in June, where we will proudly showcase the innovative solutions of our members and reinforce their position and expertise. Also, in October our highly anticipated ADS Toulouse Annual Event. Our Reception remains an invaluable platform for networking, partnership-building, and dialogues on the latest advancements in civil aerospace and space technologies.

In addition to our participation in global events, ADS Toulouse is committed to expanding our support across Europe. By fostering deeper ties with key players in the aerospace, space and defence sectors, we aim to open new business connections and strengthen collaborative efforts with industry leaders throughout the continent. Our focus will be on creating stronger synergies that will allow our members to thrive and remain competitive in an increasingly interconnected European market.

2025 will also be a year of innovation, strategic partnerships, and growth as we continue to build on the successes of previous years. Our dedication to advancing the interests of our members remains unwavering, and we look forward to the exciting opportunities that lie ahead. Together, we will shape a successful future for the aerospace, space, and defence industries in Europe.

Bonne lecture,

Sincerely,

Marie Margaux Honikman
ADS Toulouse Director
