Charlotte Baris: Dear listeners, when we mention the name Dassault, you surely think of aviation and the famous Rafale. We saw in the previous episode that the French group is a pioneer in the aeronautical industry. However, this family empire goes well beyond the takeoff runways…
The empire extends from real estate, to auctions and even viticulture… For several decades, Dassault has especially diversified into unexpected but strategic areas: digital, with Dassault Systèmes, world leader in simulation software, and the press, with the Figaro Group, pillar of French information.
Why are these two sectors, although so different, an integral part of the group’s strategy? What challenges do they face today, and how do they embody the unique vision of the Dassault family? The answer in this episode
