PRESS RELEASE
French companies to present their expertise in nuclear energy
at Indian Nuclear Energy 2014
6th to 8th of November 2014 – Nehru Centre, Worli, Mumbai
UBIFRANCE India in partnership with G.I.I.N and AIFEN (French Nuclear Industry Associations) is
organising for the 5th consecutive year a French pavilion at the India Nuclear Energy (INE)
exhibition, the leading event in the nuclear sector in India. The French delegation would represent
almost 40% of the total participating companies like in the previous editions.
French expertise in the nuclear sector is globally acknowledged. This expertise is the fruit of the
constant commitment and investment of French industrial groups and SMEs for the past 60 years in
the nuclear field. The French nuclear sector is currently the leader in the domain of the fuel cycle
(manufacturing, processing and recycling) and in nuclear power plant construction and maintenance,
with 2,500 companies which employ 220,000 persons and generate a €46 billion turnover, including
€5.6 in exports. 58 nuclear reactors are currently in operation in France.
India Nuclear Energy 2014 will serve as the platform for the civil nuclear energy industry to interact
and work towards the fulfillment of the power and electricity requirements of the Indian economy.
The French pavilion had brought under its banner 18 companies at INE 2013. Thus, the French
Pavilion was the biggest country pavilion with the maximum number of participating companies. In
addition to these 18 companies, 5 other French companies exhibited directly through their Indian
subsidiaries.
Visit the French Pavilion at INE 2014 from 6 to 8 November on the ground floor (please check the

energy!
A networking dinner will be organised at the Acres’s Club on 7 November thanks to the support of
