The French electronics market is dominated by lots of very small companies employing maybe 5-10 people, and these people are not generally focused solely on electronics.<\/p>\n<p>We also have many very large organizations, its one extreme or another; there are very few mid-sized companies. But fortunate for us, we can offer the best of both worlds, we understand the business challenges of a small company, but we have the backing and support of Zuken, a large global organization.<\/p>\n<h2>2011 Vision<\/h2>\n<p>I see a growth in the adoption of high-speed and mechatronics enabling technology within the smaller companies within France this year and remain hopeful that the market will improve.<\/p>\n<h2>Philippe Biran Biography<\/h2>\n<p>I am the managing director of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.novacad.fr\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Novocad<\/a> which was established as an independent company in July 1996.
