How do we sum up 2022, and what’s in store for 2023?

Patrice Caine looks back at some of the key factors that have underscored the past twelve months: the resurgence of security and defence matters as a result of the war in Ukraine, the upswing in energy savings issues, and the environmental and climate crisis we are facing.

“At Thales, our technologies and expertise help respond to the major challenges of our time,” he says, underlining the fact that the Group’s solutions enable its customers to build a safer, greener and more inclusive world. The company’s unrivalled service offering and its cutting-edge technologies explain the remarkable results achieved in 2022.

Two major challenges can be singled out for 2023. On the one hand, we will be refocusing on Thales’s three core businesses: defence and security, aerospace, and digital identity and security. On the other, the Group will be pursuing the ambitious recruitment objectives it has set to support its development and growth.
