In 2025, Europe continues a strong increase in defence investment, with an estimated +11% year-on-year growth. Cumulative defence budgets across European countries now exceed $380 billion per year, reflecting a clear commitment to the long-term consolidation of defence capabilities. This momentum is accompanied by a strengthening of regulatory, normative and compliance frameworks, particularly for supporting infrastructures. European authorities highlight the growing importance of industrial quality, traceability, documentation and testing, especially for electrical, energy and digital equipment integrated into defence installations. In this context, Aventech provides: These investments reflect a clear intention to rely on robust industrial foundations, capable of meeting the long-term requirements of the defence sector.

Several countries, such as Germany and Italy, invest between €7 and €10 billion per year in the modernization of their railway networks. In France, this effort reaches around €5 to €6 billion per year for the maintenance and improvement of one of the densest rail networks in Europe. To meet mobility and ecological transition objectives, an additional €3 billion per year would be required to refurbish the existing network. Financial needs related to infrastructure management are also expected to increase in the coming years. In this context, our ability to deliver advanced automation systems is more relevant than ever: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹-𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘀, 𝗮𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝘀 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀, aligned with the sector’s strict quality and traceability requirements: • High-precision industrial wiring at our production sites in Valence (France)• Multi-protocol integration• Aluminium and zinc enclosures• Compliance with industry standards• Factory testing, FAT procedures and rigorous quality controls performed by our dedicated inspectors. We also ensure the assembly and integration of platform access gates, developed by our industrial partners. Our ability to produce small, medium and high-volume series directly contributes to smoother passenger flows, reduced operational interruptions and improved performance of station infrastructures. Thanks to the industrialization of our large-scale production capabilities, our customers benefit from a more competitive and durable offer, both in operating costs and long-term reliability. Our know-how ensures robust structuring of critical systems and optimal compliance. By combining our expertise as a low-voltage switchboard manufacturer and electromechanical integrator, we actively contribute to enhancing the performance and safety of railway infrastructures in France and abroad.

Artificial intelligence is emerging as a performance accelerator for industry. Beyond algorithms, it is the infrastructure that determines value: secure power supply, optimized cooling, modularity, and fast deployment. Key figures 2025 These dynamics require data centers that are reliable, sustainable, and high-performing—able to scale without disrupting operations. Our industrial response Capacity & production in FranceAventech relies on 35,000 m² of production space to industrialize modular, unitary, or series solutions, with full quality control and in-factory testing (FAT). Modular solutions for data centers Benefits for your projects Conclusion AI accelerates the demand for digital infrastructures. Aventech designs and manufactures in France modular, scalable, and ready-to-use solutions to support the growth of data centers—from energy to cooling, from switchboards to cabling—with the highest industrial standards.

€40.8 billion in foreign investments announced at Choose France! But did you know that €26 billion (over 63%) is dedicated to data centers? Behind the numbers: Why such enthusiasm? Because France brings several key advantages: But in the face of administrative complexity, environmental requirements, and the need for rapid deployment, operators are looking for partners who can deliver reliable, modular, and ready-to-use industrial solutions. At Aventech, we address these challenges with: Data center development is a lever for reindustrialization. And we are ready to support it with robust, flexible, and immediately deployable solutions.

The construction of new data centers is accelerating to meet the demand for intensive computing power. According to Le Monde, giants like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google plan to invest 200 billion dollars in 2025 to expand their infrastructures. This rapid expansion brings major challenges in energy supply and swift deployment.

The European Union has recently announced the creation of 13 AI Factories across the continent, including one in France, with a clear objective: to accelerate AI innovation, strengthen European research, and ensure France’s digital sovereignty. GENCI (Grand Équipement National de Calcul Intensif), primarily supported by the French State, CEA, and CNRS, will co-lead the AI Factory in France. The industry is shifting from data centers consuming a few megawatts to hyperscale data centers requiring tens or even hundreds of megawatts in electrical power and cooling capacity. These infrastructures are being deployed at an increasingly rapid pace, pushing traditional civil engineering solutions to their limits. Are you looking for innovative solutions for your IT rooms, power, and cooling systems? Modular containers, shelters, and skids are the answer. These are turnkey infrastructures—customizable, scalable, and above all, designed for performance and security. In a world where AI is advancing at high speed, France and its industrial ecosystem are mobilizing to support the deployment of these strategic technologies on national soil.
