For more than 130 years, Thales has evolved from a pioneering electrical company into a global technology leader that shapes the future of our societies. The company traces its origins to 1893 as Compagnie Française Thomson-Houston, born from a vision to harness emerging technologies for critical infrastructure. Over decades of transformation through innovation and strategic growth, Thales recognized that as the world became increasingly connected, the need for trusted, secure, and sustainable technology solutions would become paramount. This insight drove the company to expand its expertise from electrical systems into aerospace, defence, space, and cybersecurity. Today, Thales stands at the forefront of "deep tech" innovation, investing over €4 billion annually in Research & Development to address humanity's greatest challenges: sovereignty, security, sustainability, and inclusion. With more than 83,000 experts across 68 countries and €20.6 billion in sales, the company has become indispensable to governments and enterprises worldwide. From protecting critical infrastructure and securing digital identities to advancing quantum computing and artificial intelligence, Thales continues its founding mission: building a future we can all trust through technological excellence.

CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, operates the world's largest particle physics laboratory, serving as one of the most respected centres for scientific research globally. Home to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), CERN brings together scientists, engineers, and technicians from about 100 different nationalities to study the fundamental particles that make up our universe. This extraordinary international collaboration represents a genuine collaboration between countries, universities, and scientists, driven not by profit margins but by the pursuit of understanding the universe's deepest secrets. Beyond physics research, CERN has revolutionized how humanity shares information. In March 1989, Tim Berners-Lee wrote a proposal at CERN for what would become the World Wide Web, and on April 30, 1993, CERN placed this transformative technology in the public domain. The web has since connected billions of people worldwide and reshaped virtually every aspect of modern life. CERN continues to push technological boundaries, developing sophisticated computing infrastructure to handle the vast amounts of data generated by LHC experiments and driving innovations that benefit society far beyond particle physics.
