Toulouse, 10 February 2026
Connektica, the MES platform for aerospace and defense manufacturers, is proud to announce its membership in France Deeptech, the leading French association representing the deeptech ecosystem.
About France Deeptech
Launched in November 2023 at a high-profile event at BnF Richelieu that brought together 350 members of the French innovation ecosystem, France Deeptech has rapidly established itself as the voice of French innovation companies. The association now federates more than 300 members, including:
- Leading French research institutes (CNRS, INPI France, and others)
- Innovative startups and scale-ups across various sectors
- Investment funds supporting growth
- Major corporates such as Thales and Safran
France Deeptech’s mission is to transform French deeptech companies into European champions through concrete policy measures and actionable recommendations. The association actively advocates to French public authorities through four specialized working groups focused on growth financing, technology transfer, regulatory frameworks, and public procurement.
These working groups published their first set of recommendations in early 2025, which were formally presented to French public authorities.
Why This Matters for Connektica
Manufacturing execution in aerospace and defense presents complex technical challenges. Today, assembly and test execution still relies heavily on manual procedures and disconnected systems, creating inefficiencies that compound as production scales.
“Joining France Deeptech is a natural step for Connektica,” said Jeremy Perrin, CEO & Co-founder of Connektica. “Our platform addresses critical challenges in aerospace manufacturing: automating assembly and test execution while maintaining complete traceability and compliance. France Deeptech’s focus on growth financing and public procurement directly impacts how companies like ours can scale across the European aerospace ecosystem. We’re excited to contribute to policy discussions and collaborate with other innovators pushing the boundaries of advanced manufacturing.”
Connektica’s Role in the Deeptech Ecosystem
As aerospace and defense manufacturers face increasing pressure to accelerate production while maintaining strict quality and compliance standards, access to advanced manufacturing technologies becomes critical. Connektica’s membership in France Deeptech reinforces the company’s commitment to strengthening European aerospace manufacturing capabilities.
By joining France Deeptech, Connektica will contribute to policy discussions on manufacturing digitalization, collaborate with research institutes on advancing manufacturing execution technology, and support the development of the next generation of aerospace engineering talent.
Looking Ahead
As France Deeptech continues to grow its influence across the French and European innovation landscape, Connektica looks forward to playing an active role in the association’s mission. The collaboration represents an opportunity to accelerate the adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies across Europe’s aerospace sector while contributing to the broader goal of building European champions.
