E-FUSION: Signing of a New Franco-Emirati Cooperation

The CSFN is proud to have supported Groupe M in signing a major strategic partnership with FABTECH Group, based in the United Arab Emirates. Both Groupe M and FABTECH are long-standing participants in the E-FUSION initiative, which aims to strengthen France-UAE cooperation in the nuclear sector. This agreement further reinforces the Franco-Emirati partnership.

Since its inception in 2019, the E-FUSION cooperation program has fostered new partnerships and strengthened collaboration between the French and Emirati nuclear industries. E-FUSION brings together CSFN, representing the entire French nuclear sector (including GIFEN, Nuclear Valley, etc.), and the Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC) for the Emirati sector.

This partnership marks a decisive milestone for Groupe M, a family-owned company committed to industrial excellence, reflecting its ambition to contribute to major projects in the UAE, particularly in the nuclear field.

Through this collaboration, Groupe M will enhance its expertise in engineering, project management, and on-site installation activities, while leveraging FABTECH Group’s local expertise. Together, they will provide high-level EPCI (Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation) services to regional clients.
