Creativity And Collaboration Are Central To The Designs

Daher reveals three new innovation centers that have been designed to accelerate innovation and development within the Group. Creativity and efficiency will be promoted in the new facilities,  and will be operational in 2022.

Login, the Toulouse-based innovation acceleration platform’s purpose is to improve and transform the industrial logistics industry, which plays an essential role in company competitiveness, by embracing an open and collaborative approach to innovation.

Located near Nantes, this second project is designed to accelerate innovation in composite structural components for aerospace applications, and reduce their technological maturity lead time. 

The final project is based near Tarbes, and will create a center dedicated to the development of the Group’s aircraft manufacturing core business, with materials laboratories, rapid prototyping workshops, mechanical engineering test facilities, systems integration test facilities, test flight preparation and operation, and other facilities. 

“Daher would like to thank the French State, the Regional Authorities and the local authorities for the unfailing technical and financial support they have provided throughout the development process of these projects,” says Daher CEO Didier Kayat.  

For Pascal Laguerre, Chief Technology Officer at Daher: “Innovation and adventure have been integral to Daher DNA throughout its history. The launch of these three new innovation centers to serve our three core businesses sends a strong message about our commitment to continue developing bold solutions designed to benefit our customers by responding effectively to the many challenges they face. We are convinced that an open and collective approach to innovation in which operations teams work alongside researchers, designers and startups, is the best way to deliver that mission.”
