TEKEVER, Europe’s leading provider of AI-powered autonomous systems, today announced that it has submitted an offer to establish a new French production and testing facility at the Parc des Expositions de Cahors.
The Cahors facility is expected to provide space for production, integration, and product development, as well as serving as a base for flight acceptance and full configuration tests. The site offers a 4,500 sqm of available building over a total area of 53,000 sqm. Its proximity to the Cahors–Lalbenque Aerodrome offers a unique advantage: the aerodrome will allow drone validation and testing flights in strong coordination with the current and future stakeholders.
Supporting TEKEVER’s defence and security offering, the site is also expected to contribute to TEKEVER France space activities counting on a dedicated infrastructure relative to radio frequency technologies.
Recruitment would begin later this year as part of our commitment to create 100 jobs in Occitanie and Nouvelle Aquitaine over the next five years. This step underlines TEKEVER’s progress in fulfilling the commitments it made earlier this year, moving swiftly from planning to execution.
The Cahors site is set to contribute to the development and delivery of TEKEVER drones from French soil, supporting France’s national sovereignty and strengthening Europe’s defence and security industrial base.
Nadia Maaref, Director of TEKEVER France, said:
“With the offer we have made for the Parc des Expositions de Cahors, we are taking another step towards delivering on the promises made at Choose France. Once confirmed, this facility will enable us to accelerate drone production and testing in close partnership with regional stakeholders, while also expanding our activities in space-related technologies. Above all, it reinforces TEKEVER’s deep commitment to France, its sovereignty, and its role at the heart of Europe’s security ecosystem.”
