Euronaval 2026
Complementary expertise supporting naval performance and defense
November 3–6, 2026
A look back at our participation in Euronaval 2026 alongside the defense and naval expertise of Equans France
From November 3 to 6, 2026, Equans Digital participated in the 30th edition of EURONAVAL 2026, the leading international trade show dedicated to naval defense and maritime security, held at Paris Nord Villepinte. Under the theme “Toward High Intensity,” the event brought together leading manufacturers, experts, institutions, and armed forces shaping the naval capabilities of tomorrow.
Alongside Equans France, Ineo Défense, Exavision, CNN MCO, Axima Marine, Evaltech Marine, and Noske-Kaeser, we were pleased to welcome numerous visitors to the Group’s booth to discuss the operational, technological, and industrial challenges that are currently transforming the naval sector.
Maritime challenges that require resilience, readiness, and innovation
In a context marked by rapidly evolving threats, the proliferation of multi-domain operations, and the growing strategic importance of maritime spaces, these issues are more critical than ever for defense stakeholders.
Maintaining resilient communications despite jamming attempts, detecting threats at long range, ensuring the availability of ships and their critical systems, and guaranteeing the operational continuity of missions: these are all challenges that require complementary expertise and cutting-edge technologies.
It is precisely this comprehensive vision that was illustrated by the various Equans France entities present at EURONAVAL 2026.
Equans Digital: Automation for Critical Naval Infrastructure
Within this ecosystem of expertise, Equans Digital works on the industrial and technical systems that ensure the smooth operation of naval vessels. In particular, we support Axima Marine in implementing automation solutions for HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems for Naval Group. These systems are essential for maintaining the environmental conditions necessary for crew safety, the availability of onboard equipment, and the operational performance of the ships.
Our expertise covers industrial automation; supervision and systems via Manufacturing Execution System (MES); technical systems integration; Building Management Systems (BMS) and Centralised Technical Management (CTM); cybersecurity for OT environments; the utilisation and exploitation of industrial datathe utilisation and exploitation of industrial data.
Through this comprehensive approach, we help enhance the reliability, availability, and performance of critical infrastructure in the defense sector.https://www.equans-digital.com/en/manifesto-approachhttps://www.equans-digital.com/en/manifesto-approachhttps://www.equans-digital.com/en/manifesto-approachhttps://www.equans-digital.com/en/manifesto-approachhttps://www.equans-digital.com/en/manifesto-approachhttps://www.equans-digital.com/en/manifesto-approachhttps://www.equans-digital.com/en/manifesto-approachhttps://www.equans-digital.com/en/manifesto-approachhttps://www.equans-digital.com/en/manifesto-approachhttps://www.equans-digital.com/en/manifesto-approach
Complementary expertise to address the challenges of the naval defense sector
One of the key takeaways from Euronaval is the need to adopt an integrated approach to meet the current requirements of navies and defense contractors.
From maritime surveillance to critical communications, from fleet maintenance to onboard equipment, and including the automation of technical systems, Equans France brings together complementary areas of expertise to support naval projects throughout their entire lifecycle.
This complementary expertise was notably demonstrated by:
- CNN MCO, a long-standing provider of operational maintenance services for French Navy vessels;
- Evaltech Marine, an independent specialist in naval engineering and expertise;
- Noske-Kaeser, an international expert in HVAC&R, CBRN and fire protection for naval and merchant fleets;
- Ineo Défense and Exavision, which develop sovereign solutions for communications, surveillance, and security.
