At the end of 2005, EADS launched the “Triple I” process – Internationalization, Innovation and Improvement (of operational performances) – which reflects the major strategic choices for group development over the years ahead. The organizational breakdown of the process is now clearly defined at Eurocopter.

Eurocopter’s international deployment, which began back in the 1980s, is one of the company’s best assets for dealing with the competition. Today this deployment is as important as ever for the company, which has signed two contracts that will shape its future (in China and Korea).

As far as Innovation is concerned, the I3 process headed by Research & Development was launched at the start of the year, and numerous projects are already being studied.

Finally, the improvement of operational performances is a daily quest at Eurocopter where many actions have been implemented over the last few years to improve customer satisfaction.
