Strategy
DCNS presents ambitious growth strategy: 
The strategy will enable DCNS to grow revenue by 50 to 100% over the next ten years. The first priority is to maintain the Group’s status as the French Navy’s benchmark partner. DCNS also aims to expand into extremely competitive sectors including naval defence solutions for international customers and civil nuclear engineering. The prime condition for success is a 30% improvement in Group performance over the next three years. This will be achieved through a transformation plan. Growth and higher performance will create value and jobs for the Group as well as our partners, suppliers and subcontractors. Growth and higher performance will also put the Group in a stronger position for future European alliances.The three-pillar strategy sets targets under three headings

DCNS aims to grow revenue by 50 to 100% over the next ten years by expanding its activities in three areas:
- Export naval defence (new shipbuilding and services). This market segment represents potential demand exceeding €3 billion per annum, particularly in Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. Aiming to become the world’s leading export naval shipbuilder, the Group boasts a portfolio of tailorable, advanced-technology products and services meeting the latest defence and security needs of navies all over the world.
- Civil nuclear engineering. In this fast-growing market, DCNS is simultaneously positioning itself as a prime contractor for subassemblies, an equipment manufacturer and a service provider. In ten years time, the Group aims to achieve annual revenue in this segment of €300 to €400 million.
- Marine renewable energy. Although this market is still at an early stage, it offers good prospects of expanding to several billion euros per annum over the medium term. DCNS plans to play a leading role. The first step is to increase R&D investment and contribute to projects to build prototypes and demonstrators. The new organisation chart includes an incubator to develop activities in this sector.
To meet our growth and performance targets, we are drawing up action plans under six transformation guidelines:
1 – Roll out new organisation focusing on simplicity, efficiency and accountability.
2 – Work differently and re-incorporate competitive improvements into internal processes.
3 – Reinvent our production processes.
4 – Associer nos fournisseurs à la performance de DCNS
5 – Involve suppliers in the Group’s performance.
6 – Develop our management culture.
