With considerable advantages and investment exceeding €1 billion, sail stakeholders are poised to play a major role in decarbonizing maritime transport and to serve as a driver of attractiveness for the French economy through this ecological, industrial, and energy opportunity.

👉 The industrialization of solutions and their adoption by the maritime fleet are two essential steps to ensure the success of the French sail sector in the global market.
