This milestone underscores Thales enduring commitment to fostering technological advancement and contributing to the nations economic growth and security.
Pascale Sourisse and Laurence Auer, French Ambassador in Greece, on the occasion of DEFEA and Thales's 50th anniversary in Greece. Since establishing its presence in Greece 50 years ago, Thales has been at the forefront of delivering innovative solutions tailored to the needs of the Greek market. From cutting-edge avionics and state-of-the-art defence systems to secure communications and air traffic management systems, Thales has been instrumental in supporting Greeces infrastructure and capabilities.
Thales is a long-time supplier of major systems to the Hellenic Armed Forces, and today services a significant installed base in the country. This includes avionics and mission systems for the Dassault Aviation Rafale and Mirage 2000/2000-5 combat aircraft, as well as large-scale air defence systems. Thales combat systems are deployed by the Hellenic Navy on board surface vessels, including the FDI Hellenic Ship (HS) naval program. Furthermore, Thales tactical radios, electronic warfare, optronic systems and surveillance radars are in service with the Army.
In civil markets, Thales has supplied much of the country's air traffic management systems. Thales Hellas has also developed a local cybersecurity capability thanks to European support programs and the Thales Groups experience in the cyber domain. Locally, Thales Hellas operates a Cyber Lab, serving Greek authorities as well as local universities and competence centres.
Core to Thales's growth story in Greece is collaboration with local industry. Thales is developing partnerships with Greek defence and technology companies to leverage local expertise and enhance the capabilities of the Greek defence and aerospace eco-system. In April, Thales Hellas held its first Innovation & Partnership event welcoming more than 120 participants from 75 Greek companies. Additionally, Thales is contributing to the development of Greek industry through a network of local SMEs and participates in European Programs in cooperation with Greek Universities and Research Centres.
This 50 year anniversary milestone comes at a pivotal moment for the future of Europe and its strategic autonomy. Thales fully supports Greece's vision to develop sovereign capabilities and increase its defence industry involvement, playing a strong role within European and NATO nations. We stand ready to further deepen our ties with Greek industry in developing our local capability in Greece - growing our defence services, air traffic management and cyber footprint. Through our continued investments in local teams, strong collaborations, and innovation in the country, we will continue to play our part developing a robust Greek industry. , said Pascale Sourisse, President & CEO, Thales International.
Our journey has been defined by a steadfast dedication to helping Greece protect its critical infrastructure through advanced technology and continuous collaboration. We look forward to further strengthening our ties and continuing our legacy of innovation and excellence for many more years to come., declared Vincent Megaides, Country Director Thales Greece, Cyprus and Malta.
