Despite global turmoil and uncertainty, the French marine sector remains a global force. With a maritime surface area of 4.2 million square miles (11 million km²), 97% of which are in France’s overseas territories, the French maritime economy has Europe’s largest seaboard (5,000 km of coastline) and the 2nd largest maritime space in the world.

• Unseenlabs (stand XX) who develop, produce and operate innovative surveillance technology. Specialised in detecting of electromagnetic emissions, the company has developed to a unique electromagnetic intelligence solution capable of observing maritime traffic, even without a cooperative beacon. They have planned to ambitious launch of between 20 – 50 satellites, starting this year.
• Another data capturing solution on the Pavilion comes from Waves’n See, the coastal video monitoring company. Their solution optimises the management of sedimentary resources and anticipates coastal risks, with customised settings: automatic shoreline detection, sand volume & bathymetric changes, wave parameters (height, period, direction).
• On the transmission side, Sercel develops and markets underwater data transmission systems and marine instrumentation, including underwater acoustic communication & positioning systems.
France & the UK: from strength to strength
France & the UK have an extensive shared history across all sectors, and the marine industry is no exception.
Today, French ports are among the main terminals for the delivery of goods and passengers to and from the UK. French exhibitors are therefore keen to present their latest innovations and expertise in London. At Oi 2022, French exhibitors is looking to strengthen connections with the United Kingdom, a major global maritime power and historical partner.
“The 21st century will be maritime”
President Emmanuel Macron declared “The 21st century will be maritime” at the 2019 Maritime Economy Congress, a statement backed by actions with significant support for the industry through the past years of global uncertainty. The French government is pursuing an ambitious maritime strategy based on 3 key pillars: the environment, the blue economy & maritime influence. This aim is to meet the UN’s 14th Sustainable Development Goal, to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development, by 2030.
A €650 million stimulus package has been made available to finance support and development actions to this end. Over this past 12 months, this financial support has included:
• €50 million for fisheries and aquaculture
• €175 million to improve the environmental sustainability of major maritime ports
• €25 million for greening the maritime marking fleet
Strong government support is a key factor in the cutting-edge developments and innovations emerging from the French marine sector. The sector plays a significant role in the French economy. Thanks to the contribution of new technologies and genuine commercial dynamism, in 2020 the French maritime and port sector recorded revenue of €91.6 billion combined, which represents 14% of French GDP, 60% of which was generated from exports. The sector accounts for 36,000 jobs, or 1.1% of the country's total working population. 5% of maritime jobs come from offshore oil and contribute 9.5% to maritime added value.
The French Pavilion at Oi 2022 trade show, from 15 to 17 March in London, is organised by Business France, the French governmental international trade agency, in partnership with the Pôle Mer Méditerranée and the Pôle Mer Bretagne, and La French Fab, the flagship brand of the French industrial ecosystem.
