On September 4, 2026, SEMIP – CODECHAMP attended the World Giverny Forum, held at the Musée des Impressionnismes in Giverny, France.
Taking part in this eighth edition reflects an important commitment for SEMIP – CODECHAMP: staying closely connected to the economic, industrial, technological and geopolitical developments shaping the markets we serve.
Designing and manufacturing solutions in France for strategic industries requires more than technological expertise. It also means understanding the broader environment in which our technologies are used and anticipating the changes that may affect our customers and partners.
Understanding the Forces Shaping Our Markets
More than 1,200 business leaders, policymakers, institutional representatives and military officials gathered in Giverny this year to discuss some of the major challenges facing businesses and governments today.
Digital and energy sovereignty, critical infrastructure protection, defence, climate adaptation, sustainable water management and the future of cities and territories may appear to be separate issues. In reality, they are becoming increasingly interconnected.
This broader perspective is precisely what makes events such as the World Giverny Forum valuable to SEMIP – CODECHAMP.
We operate in demanding, strategic sectors including defence, space and aerospace. These markets are directly affected by changes in industrial policy, technological sovereignty, supply chain security and increasingly stringent environmental requirements.
Keeping track of these developments helps us better anticipate the needs of our customers and partners and make informed, long-term industrial decisions.
Industry at the Heart of Sovereignty and Resilience
Discussions at the World Giverny Forum also highlighted the key role that businesses and industry have to play in addressing these challenges.
This year, the Cercle de Giverny working groups presented 30 new proposals for more sustainable businesses to the French Prime Minister and members of the Government attending the event. The next step will be to bring these proposals to French and European institutions.
This initiative reflects a belief we share at SEMIP – CODECHAMP: strengthening sovereignty and resilience also requires maintaining and developing industrial and technological capabilities in France and across Europe.
We contribute to this effort by designing and manufacturing high-precision potentiometers and optical encoders in France for applications where reliability, accuracy and technological expertise are critical.
Staying Connected to the Challenges of Tomorrow
For SEMIP – CODECHAMP, attending the World Giverny Forum is an opportunity to look beyond our day-to-day industrial environment.
It allows us to engage with the people shaping economic and industrial decisions, exchange perspectives and gain a better understanding of the developments that will influence both our business and our customers in the years ahead.
Our presence in Giverny reflects our commitment to staying connected to the major issues shaping our markets, while continuing to develop and manufacture high-precision technologies in France for strategic industries.
By combining industrial expertise, a clear understanding of our markets and a long-term perspective, we aim to anticipate change and prepare for the challenges ahead.
