As part of Oceanology 2008,
the French national pavilion organised by UBIFRANCE (the
French Agency for International Business Development) will
showcase the best of French marine technology. Oceanology
2008, the largest international exhibition of marine science
and ocean technologies, will be held in London from 11 to
13 March 2008.It is expected to attract 600 exhibitors and
7,000 visitors from more than 60 countries.
UBIFRANCE invites
French companies to promote their know-how at an event
which is internationally recognised in the field of maritime
research. Around 45% of the visitors who attend the exhibition
are company heads and the event attracts specialists in marine
environment and oceanographic equipment. France enjoys
a high level of expertise in this field, and UBIFRANCE will
be seeking to ensure that this expertise reaches a wider
audience. With the French pavilion, UBIFRANCE offers each
French exhibitor the chance to achieve greater recognition
through a coordinated action and to develop new business
opportunities by sharing their experience with other companies
present at the pavilion and at the exhibition.
The French
pavilion will feature 22 exhibitors, including ACRI (remote
sensing and fluid dynamics atmosphere modelling), ACSA
(underwater applications of GPS), BMTI (composite materials
and syntactic foam blocks for oceanography, offshore oil,
industrial and defence applications), Chrisar (acoustic
treatment signals, detection and protection of marine mammals),
Creocean (consulting on coastal and marine environment and
oceanography), CE Sigma (research centre for information,
signal & image processing,
electronics and systems integration), Flodim (underground
cavity surveys), GIS Amphibia (engineering), In Vivo Environment
(scientific and technical experts in the marine, coastal
and aquatic fields), Lapp Muller (industrial and nuclear
robotics and submarine activities), Technicap (instrumentation
apparatuses for oceanography and programmable sampling devices),
Kley France (deep-sea winches for offshore fields, naval
engineering and oceanography), NKE (electrical engineers
specialising in the marine sector), Safege (service company
and consultancy in marine environment and oceanography),
SIG France (sparker-boomer systems with high-voltage energy
