Safran strengthens its technological presence in Herstal
The aeronautics giant Safran has announced the opening of a new branch in Herstal, in the province of Liège. This site will be directly attached to the group's disruptive innovation center, a structure dedicated to researching cutting-edge technologies for the future of aviation.
This strategic choice confirms the importance of Belgium in the European technological ecosystem. By establishing itself in the heart of the Walloon industrial hub, Safran aims to benefit from local expertise and strengthen its ties with the region's research centers and universities.
The main objective of this center is to develop innovative solutions to reduce the carbon footprint of the aviation sector. The teams based in Herstal will work in particular on new materials and more sustainable propulsion systems, which are crucial issues for the global aerospace industry.
This establishment represents excellent news for skilled employment in Belgium. The group plans to recruit specialized engineers and technicians, thereby contributing to the economic dynamism of the Liège region and the international reach of Belgian expertise.
