NSOFT invited to the Aix-Marseille Forum

On 30 September 2026, NSOFT was invited to the Aix-Marseille Forum for international business groups. Represented by David Ballouey, the company delivered a pitch, providing an opportunity to introduce our approach and engage with the region’s business community.

Organised by One Provence Promotion and DZA in the assembly chamber of the Aix-Marseille-Provence Métropole, this fifth edition focused on energy and defence, asking whether metropolitan areas are leading these new dynamics. The programme connected industrial transition, resilience and regional attractiveness.

The defence industry panel listed Patrick Bréthous (Airbus Helicopters), Daniel Campanella (Magellan Aerospace Provence), Étienne Gomez (Collins Aerospace), Jérôme Perrin (Pôle SAFE Région Sud) and Alexandre Ziegler (Safran), with Olivier Biscaye of La Provence as moderator.

For UbiSight, NSOFT’s defence brand, these discussions resonate with our work on communications, observation and satellite-image analysis. They reinforce the importance of connecting technical expertise with industrial needs and identifying complementary capabilities that can support concrete projects.

In the accompanying interview, David Ballouey reflects on the connections made with companies and defence-sector organisations in the region. He also highlights conversations with young people interested in defence, with potential future recruitment in mind.

Thank you to the organisers for the invitation and to everyone we met. We look forward to continuing the conversations started at the forum and exploring opportunities for cooperation.
