An alliance for industrial renewal
Since July 20, 2015, numerous stakeholders—trade unions, companies, research and training organizations—have been working together toward a common goal: transforming French industry into a global leader, recognized for its excellence and capable of responding to technological and social challenges.

The Industry of the Future Alliance, of which Arts et Métiers a founding member, will organize and coordinate the most promising initiatives. To remain closely attuned to the realities on the ground, the Alliance's actions will be relayed across the regions, for example to support SMEs and mid-cap companies in modernizing their tools. Arts et Métiers thus Arts et Métiers offer companies an open environment and appropriate technical support, drawing in particular on its regional network.
Arts et Métiers involvementArts et Métiers many advantages for the school: first, greater recognition of its expertise and the emergence of innovative research topics; second, closer ties with the business world, from start-ups to international groups, and a better understanding of the skills that companies will need in the future. For its part, the school is involved in developing a comprehensive range of research and training programs. Each campus will gradually establish itself as an essential part of the Alliance, becoming a meeting place for local players inthe industry of the future.
Six priority issues for the Alliance
- Promoting France's vision of the industry of the future
- Supporting businesses
- List and develop French technology offerings
- Anticipating professional developments
- Promoting French technology and expertise internationally
- Attracting foreign investors to France
Young people attracted to the industry of the future
For the fifth consecutive year, Arts et Métiers the results of its study entitled "Young People and Industry," conducted in partnership with OpinionWay. The study aims to understand and analyze how high school students studying science and technology perceive industry.
For Laurent Champaney, CEO ofArts et Métiers, the results of the survey are essential for the institution: "They enable us to better understand young people's perceptions and aspirations, and therefore to design or adapt our training programs, always in collaboration with industry stakeholders."
High school students in science and technology streams have a more positive view of the industry than ever since the survey began, with 77% of them having a favorable opinion of it. Far from the image sometimes conveyed of an aging sector, young people are optimistic about industry, considering that, in addition to being a crucial sector, it is also a sector with a bright future. They see this industry of the future, based on innovation, as a realistic prospect. The desire to work in industry has increased slightly (+3 points) to almost one in two young people (46%). The three most popular sectors are those with the most modern image, particularly renewable energies and electrical, electronic, and digital equipment.
Let's dare to embrace industry
" Osons l'industrie " (Let's dare to embrace industry) is a collaborative project coordinated by the Alliance Industrie du Futur (Industry of the Future Alliance) in partnership with Arts et Métiers,UIMM,IMT,ONISEP, andCNI. With the aim of providing information on changes in professions, qualifications, and skills to young people seeking career guidance and to employees who are currently working or undergoing professional retraining, the "Osons l'industrie" portal is also a source of content for those involved in initial and continuing training.
The portal presents the "5 families of future careers" (maintenance, big data, management, production, and supply chain) and provides reliable and clear information: main tasks of the selected career, skills to be acquired to pursue this career, typical working day, training related to the career, ONISEP publications, videos illustrating the career, etc.
A strategy serving responsible industry leaders
Arts et Métiers a major technological institution Arts et Métiers 14 sites. Arts et Métiers main missions Arts et Métiers to train engineers and industry executives and to conduct research.Arts et Métiers ambition is to become France's leading technological institution, serving businesses. As part of its 2022-2027 strategic plan, numerous projects have been launched to ensure that every Arts et Métiers graduate becomes Arts et Métiers key player in serving the future leaders and companies that will shape France's industrial landscape in 2030.
Developing the Arts et Métiers identity Arts et Métiers the ELF 4.0 project
TheEvolutive Learning Factories ELF4.0) Arts et Métiers project Arts et Métiers to gradually enhance existing tools with new industrial technologies, digital technology, environmental issues, and societal issues. Launched in 2021, this project is the priority for the coming term. The goal is for Arts et Métiers sites Arts et Métiers their ELF project over the next five years and integrate these new tools into all their training programs.
Developing the institution's environmental and social responsibility
The institution wishes to continue integrating environmental and societal aspects into its culture and operations. A major objective is to obtain the "Sustainable Development & Social Responsibility" label for ESR institutions in 2023, following on from the signing of the Grenoble Agreement on January 31, 2021. Arts et Métiers train its students in reducing the environmental impact of industrial activities and developing carbon-free energies and, more generally, in managing socially responsible industrial activities.
Attract and train more talent
With a goal of bringing in 50% more talent by 2027 to build the industrial France of 2030 (by diversifying backgrounds and attracting high-potential profiles), Arts et Métiers develop its training capabilities in both initial training and lifelong learning, while maintaining the excellence of its degrees. Among the avenues being explored are the development of apprenticeships and academic partnerships that will complement Arts et Métiers offering Arts et Métiers its research potential.
Better supporting industrial companies in their development
With the ambition of helping to develop innovative industrial companies in France in 2030, Arts et Métiers positioning Arts et Métiers to better support them: the youngest among them in their start-up phase and the most established in their international development. To this end, Arts et Métiers to:
- Encouraging industrial research in support of France 2030
- Hosting industrial startups at all sites
- Expand the business support activities carried out by AMValor and AMTalents internationally, drawing on its strategic partnerships.
A committed school is also
Feminization
To attract more girls to technology and science courses, Arts et Métiers an exhibition in 2017 entitled "Technology, feminine noun," consisting of eight large-format photographs. Each photograph depicts a female student or young engineer Arts et Métiers in her work or study environment, illustrating the diversity of professions and technological expertise in the industrial sector.
The exhibition, which toured all Arts et Métiers sites Arts et Métiers 2017, is now on display in Paris.
Arts et Métiers also a partner of the Elles Bougent association, whose goal is to introduce young girls to engineering and technical studies and professions.
Arts et Métiers students Arts et Métiers participate in all the events organized by the association (networking and career forums, "Women in Engineering" or "Women Innovating for Digital Technology" days, etc.). Many of them are also involved as mentors for Elles Bougent and share their experiences.
These initiatives need to be developed further, because although female students make up 23% of the national doctoral program and 35% of Specialized Master's® programs, they still only represent 16% of engineering programs and 10% of bachelor's programs.
Diversity
Arts et Métiers commitmentArts et Métiers equal opportunities is reflected in support and mentoring programs set up at its sites and in partnerships with associations and companies.
Several sites are active in the "Cordées de la Réussite" program, which aims to support students from disadvantaged backgrounds in pursuing higher education through partnerships between middle schools, high schools, and higher education institutions.
