Meeting of players in the French industrial value chain, in Martigues

⏱️  Last places available!

In a context where the strategic sovereignty issue of (re)building a French and European industry producing photovoltaic wafers, cells and modules is the subject of growing awareness and a strong commitment on the part of the public authorities,

and at a time when two "gigafactory" projects are under development in France, take part in this unique event to share :

  • European and national context,
  • The issues at stake in the different segments of the value chain, 
  • Skills and training needs, 
  • The link between industrial development and R&D advances.
