DIVERSITY – The secret of performing teams
Team performance can be related to three main factors : empathy, the fact that each member of a team has an equal voice at the table and diversity. Faced with the fourth industrial revolution, Thales has a unique opportunity with generations of engineers from all over the world, women and men of all backgrounds, to thrive in a world driven by data, artificial intelligence, robotics and cobotics.
Aerospace
We help to drive the future of civil aviation by providing a full range of equipment, systems and services both in the air and on the ground. We support aircraft manufacturers, airlines, air traffic controllers, airports and civil aviation authorities in meeting the challenges of traffic growth, safety, efficiency and environmental performance while enhancing security and making air travel more pleasant.
Space
Satellite operators, space agencies, governments and defence customers rely on us to design, develop and deploy orbital infrastructure, systems, ground segments and related services in the key sectors of telecommunications, Earth observation, navigation and science.
Transportation
Our technologies help main line and urban transport operators and network managers to get the most out of their infrastructure. They simplify the growing complexity of transport systems and make public transport more attractive and more efficient.
Defence
We enable the armed forces to carry out their missions, both in the traditional environments — land, air, sea and space — and in the emerging theatres of urban combat and cyber warfare. At the same time we are helping governments to integrate their defence forces and security services.
Security
We work with government agencies, local authorities and civil operators to develop and deploy integrated, resilient solutions to protect citizens, sensitive data and critical infrastructure. Our priorities are to defend cyber networks, to make airports and infrastructure more secure, and to improve border protection.
Customer trust
