“Renewing Growth: Drawing on 10 years' experience to design the next decade” June 20- 22, 2012 in La Baule, France Under the presidency of Clara Gaymard, Vice President, GE International & CEO, GE France, the 10th edition of the World Investment Conference will gather 500 business leaders and policy makers from across the world in La Baule, France, to devise policies to boost Europe’s attractiveness as a place to do business and turbo-charge economic growth. nd

Paris, 22 May - The World Investment Conference Europe 2012 comes against an extraordinary economic backdrop. At a time of exceptional uncertainty, it offers the opportunity to review the very latest investment trends and hear directly from business leaders on where they think today’s opportunities and obstacles lie.

Entitled Renewing Growth, the 10th anniversary conference will examine the lessons of the past decade and explore Europe’s challenges and opportunities in an era of swift change and unprecedented competition in many fields. This year, the conference will deal with themes strongly inscribed in the European agenda: Strengthening the financial foundations for growth and innovation: Shaping structures that can channel surplus cash to relevant and profitable innovation will be essential to future European growth and competitiveness.

Capturing Europe’s share of the value chain: As global companies of all sizes review where they will locate their operations, there is no single, inevitable trend. Europe competes at every point on the value chain.

Innovating in Europe: To stay at the forefront, Europe needs to ensure it has the skills and talents needed to underpin investments in research, development, and innovation.

Rejuvenating the European Dream: European values, ranging from empathy to entrepreneurship, are a global force. Communication technologies are distributing knowledge and power more widely, especially among the younger generation. Where are European technology, society, and ambitions headed?

The WIC debates will explore how Europe can best leverage its key strengths to accelerate recovery.

The much-awaited annual European Attractiveness Survey from Ernst & Young will be presented during the conference. It shows how international investors see Europe going forward and suggests ways in which the region could become more attractive and competitive.

In celebration of the conference’s 10th anniversary, an awards ceremony will honor three businesses that have made an outstanding contribution to economic development in Europe over the last 10 years through their direct investments.

Recommendations from the workshops and plenary sessions will be presented to the European Union and governments as an agenda to enhance the world-wide attractiveness of Europe and assure its future growth.

Assystem employees are trained to listen, to master and develop their skills, to rise to the challenges posed by innovation, risk management and complexity and to transform our clients' objectives into results across all our projects. With offices in 16 countries, each day and all over the world, our employees share their knowledge and breathe life into our clients' and partners' ideas and projects.

A global Engineering and Innovation Consultancy Group Assystem has achieved a global presence in the engineering sector through two major business lines: • Complex infrastructure engineering which accounts for 45% of the Group's pro forma revenue and which mainly concerns the energy sectors (nuclear, conventional, oil and gas); • Outsourced R&D which accounts for 55% of the Group's pro forma revenue and which is concentrated in the aerospace sector and in transportation.

Assystem brings added value to the complex infrastructure engineering segment as a result of its historical background in the nuclear sector and its corresponding experience operating in heavily regulated environnements with complex safety requirements. Linked with the business lines in that segment, the Plant Engineering & Operations division helps clients and partners to optimise their industrial investments, by designing, building, maintaining and, ultimately, dismantling power plants and industrial facilities.

Assystem's outsourced R&D service is provided exclusively for industrial clients. The Group is active throughout the product engineering value chain, from functional analysis to validation, including design, computing and testing. Assystem's Aerospace Engineering division brings its mechanical and technological expertise to aircraft and equipment manufacturers, engine builders…thus participating in all aspects of their projects, at macro or micro level, from research through to execution. The Technology & Product Engineering division brings together the core skills needed for hardware and software development for systems integration and validation in the automotive, rail transport and new technologies sectors.

Assystem's commitment to a model of growth that respects Mankind and our environment reached a new level at the end of 2011 when it joined the United Nations Global Compact.

Management at Assystem places great importance on the efficiency of its process for taking major decisions and the flow of information within the Group, with this constant concern notably stemming from its highly decentralised structure.

Under the Chairmanship of Dominique Louis, the main shareholder, the Assystem Management Board is mainly comprised of executives who had operations responsibilities: Stéphane Aubarbier, David Bradley, Gérard Brescon, Martine Griffon-Fouco and Gilbert Vidal. Most of them started their careers with the Group as junior engineers.

HISTORY It bears the name of Charles-Louis HAVAS, founder of France’s first press agency in 1835.

HAVAS was first listed on the Paris Bourse (now Euronext Paris) in 1982.

1991 Eurocom acquired the French advertising group RSCG, leading to the creation of the Euro RSCG Worldwide advertising network.

1996 The company changed its name to HAVAS Advertising and created four operating divisions, the largest of which, the Euro RSCG Worldwide network, established its headquarters in New York in 1997.

2004 In July, the Bolloré Group acquired a stake in the Company’s share capital.

2007 The MPG network was renamed HAVAS Media.

2009 At the beginning of the year, the Group reorganized into two Business Units, HAVAS Worldwide and HAVAS Media, in order to promote synergies and further reinforce HAVAS’ positioning as the most integrated group in its sector.

2011 Havas takes an offensive stance with an external growth plan following the Group’s financial recovery. David Jones becomes CEO of Havas.

Citroën DS5

Continuing the story that began 90 years ago near the Eiffel Tower, the dynamic, creative Citroën brand introduced a new model range in 2010 with the Citroën DS3 – the first of a distinctive line that was extended in 2011 with the DS4 and now the DS5. The brand’s technological leadership is regularly on display in World Rally Championship racing, where it has won the Manufacturer title seven times. Services are another focus of innovation, as demonstrated by the Citroën Multicity mobility solutions web portal.

With 10,000 dealers and operations in 80 countries, Citroën sold 1,436,000 vehicles in 2011.

CORPORATE PROFILE

GLOBALISATION

B

acked by two globally renowned brands, Peugeot and Citroën, PSA Peugeot Citroën sold 3.5 million vehicles worldwide in 2011, of which 42% outside Europe. It is Europe’s second largest carmaker, with revenue of €59.9 billion and operations in 160 countries worldwide. In 2011, it allocated more than €2 billion to research and development, in particular in the field of new automotive propulsion technologies.

Through its subsidiaries, the Group is also active in other automotiverelated businesses. Banque PSA Finance provides vehicle financing in 23 countries. With operations in 150 countries, Gefco is committed to becoming the world leader in automotive supply chain solutions.

Faurecia is currently the world’s sixth largest automotive equipment supplier and market leader in several key vehicle modules.

P

SA Peugeot Citroën pursued its globalisation strategy in 2011, helping to lift sales outside Europe to 42% of the total, well on track to meet the targeted 50% in 2015. Gains were posted in each of the priority markets, with growth of 7% in China, 11% in Latin America and 34% in Russia. Production capacity outside Europe will be increased in 2012 and 2013 with the construction of new plants in China, the extension to the Porto Real plant in Brazil and the ramp-up of the Kaluga plant in Russia.

In early 2012, PSA Peugeot Citroën and General Motors formed a global strategic Alliance built on two main pillars: the sharing of platforms for the production of vehicles in Europe and emerging markets and the creation of a global purchasing joint-venture.

UPMARKET STRATEGY

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

T

he strategy of moving the brands upmarket is also well on track, with Premium models like the Peugeot 508 and the Citroën DS5 now accounting for 18% of consolidated sales, versus 13% in 2010.

Moreover, the strategy of moving the brands upmarket is being extended from the Premium models to the entire line-up, so that the Peugeot 208, for example, offers a higher level of quality and features than the 207.

The strategy is also bringing to market vehicles equipped with the latest innovations, notably the HYbrid4 diesel hybrid powertrain, introduced in 2012 on the Peugeot 3008, 508 and 508 RXH and the Citroën DS5.

In this way, it is helping to position the Group in promising segments, while winning over new customers and enhancing the image of the brands.

SA Peugeot Citroën’s strategic vision is grounded in a deep commitment to responsible growth. In particular, it encourages sustainable mobility, primarily by carefully managing the environmental footprint of its operations, products and services. Peugeot and Citroën, for example, both offer comprehensive ranges of low-carbon vehicles, with powertrains ranging from electric to hybrids, as well as highly efficient internal combustion engines. The Group also acts as a highly engaged corporate citizen in every country where it is present, through its supplier relationships and its environmental and community outreach programmes. Lastly, it is deploying human resources policies that promote the personal growth and fulfilment of its employees.

In 2011, PSA Peugeot Citroën took its commitment to the next level by creating a corporate foundation. As expressed in the signature “A World on the Move”, the Foundation supports social, educational, cultural and environmental projects related to mobility, which is one of the keys that help to unlock access to employment, education and culture.

Since 2005, Siemens has been a partner to the World Investment Conference (WIC), and is now supporting the 10th conference to be held in La Baule from 20th to 22th of June 2012.

SIEMENS HAS BEEN OPERATING IN FRANCE FOR 160 YEARS. IT IS THE TOP EUROPEAN HIGH TECHNOLOGY GROUP, GIVING PRIORITY TO INNOVATION IN INDUSTRY, ENERGY, INFRASTRUCTURE & CITIES AND HEALTHCARE. Siemens, Europe’s leading high-tech company, has been based in France for 160 years and prioritizes innovation in the fields of industry, energy, healthcare and sustainable solutions for metropolitan areas and their infrastructures. Through its 7,000 strong workforce, eight production sites, numerous partnerships with universities and higher education institutions, and competitive clusters, Siemens France plays an active part in economic development in France and abroad. Siemens France has seven R&D centers, six of which are centers of expertise working for the company throughout the world in all high-tech sectors, such as automatic transportation systems, metallurgy, energy transport and distribution, software package design and production, fire detection, and mechatronic systems. Siemens France therefore generates over a third of its turnover from exports.

In 2011, Siemens France recorded an order volume of €2.3 billion (at 30/09/2011).

SIEMENS IS A EUROPEAN GROUP OF WORLDWIDE STATURE, a leader in the fields of electronics and electrotechnology. It is a major player in green technologies: its specialist portfolio of products and solutions now represents over one third of its revenue, at €28 billion. 2011 was a very good year for Siemens, in spite of a slowdown in the world economy. Operating profit increased by a record 36% to €9.1 billion, and income from continuing operations rose by almost two-thirds to €7 billion. New orders

were up too, by 16%, reaching €85.6 billion. After announcing its withdrawal from nuclear, the group is demonstrating its determination to find new environmentally friendly ways of producing energy. The revenue figure for its Environmental Portfolio is in fact continuing to grow, to stand at €30 billion.

INVESTING IN R&D TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE GROWTH In 2011, Siemens devoted €3.9 billion to R&D expenditure, or 5.3% of its revenue. Over 28,000 employees, spread over 178 locations in over 30 countries, constantly add to its worldwide portfolio of inventions and patents at a rate that puts it in first place as a patent filer in Europe and 9th in the USA. In line with its Open Innovation strategy, the Group has entered into over 1,000 partnerships with universities, research institutes and industrial companies.

This is how it works with electricity suppliers in Germany and in Finland and also with prestigious research institutes in the Netherlands to make CO2 capture technologies available more quickly in power plants.
