Air Liquide is deeply committed to the climate and the energy transition and we fully believe in the major role that our decarbonization solutions – and in particular hydrogen – will play in the development of a low-carbon society. Healthcare, which has reached a new level during the health crisis, also represents one of the focuses of our future growth. Finally, in a world where technological progress is accelerating, in particular in the digital field, our expertise places us in a perfect position in the race to future growth, for example to support the expansion of the electronics industry and that of high tech sectors such as deep cryogenics, space, and quantum technology. We firmly believe that our technologies and our ability to innovate will make a difference in the transformation that is currently underway.
During this period which remains uncertain, we are facing the future with caution, but also with courage and confidence. Confidence in the opportunities before us. Confidence, too, in our ability to seize them. Inventing the future has been our business for over a century.
I sincerely believe that, together, we can continue, to invent and build this future and, more than ever, to live it.
