FR-EU Industry 2040: A vision for French and European industry

France has cutting-edge industrial sectors, but its productive base remains fragmented and overly dependent on foreign supplies for critical inputs, reducing its ability to secure its industrial sovereignty. More than 60% of industrial components come from abroad, with strong strategic dependencies on Asia for semiconductors, advanced materials and some pharmaceuticals, creating a high risk of disruption in value chains.

Biomimicry, the use of living organisms and their remarkable properties as inspiration for innovation, has a long history. In recent years, scientific developments have reinforced the potential of this approach, in the fields of innovation, performance and sustainability. Mobilized by many private and now public organizations, biomimicry is proving to be a real strategic lever.
