The fifth edition of the World Nuclear Exhibition was held from 28 to 30 November, a record success that confirms the event's status as a major international meeting place for nuclear energy professionals. Organised for the second time by GIFEN, the WNE was more than ever a credit to the French industry, which hosted nuclear professionals and industries from all over the world. Proud of the success of this event, GIFEN would like to pay tribute to the dedication of its members who, over three days, demonstrated French nuclear excellence.

French Pavilion
Once again, the Pavillon France was a fine showcase for our industry, with 2,200 square metres of floor space, more than 177 exhibitors including 4 regional groups, and visits from 15 foreign delegations.
Why exhibit in the French Pavilion? How do exhibitors feel about it? Did they achieve their objectives? What were the highlights for them? Will they return to the French Pavilion?

A prestigious dinner to open the World Nuclear Exhibition: on 27 November, GIFEN brought together 440 participants representing 50 companies at 44 tables at the Pavillon d'Armenonville.
They said:
"I would like to congratulate the entire GIFEN team on the excellent organisation of this 2023 event!"

"Congratulations on the success of the event, which exceeded all expectations: in terms of improbable encounters with former colleagues and friends, interesting contacts for business, conviviality... "
"A big thank you for organising the day of 30/11 at WNE. The students were delighted, it was a truly unique event for them."
"I wanted to thank you for our participation in the guided tours and HR meetings, and congratulations again on the organisation!
