3 Techcenters to Accelerate Innovation
At Daher, innovation is not a promise – it is a solution. To transform industrial, logistics and aerospace challenges into opportunities for performance and sustainability, the Group relies on three complementary techcenters: Log’in, Shap’in and Fly’in. True innovation accelerators, they enable the emergence, testing and deployment of the technologies that will shape the industry and aerospace sectors of tomorrow.
Log’in, the Techcenter Dedicated to Logistics Innovation
Located in Cornebarrieu, near Toulouse, within the Corlog logistics site, Log’in is an experimentation and acceleration platform dedicated to transforming industrial supply chains. Its ambition is to rapidly develop, test and deploy innovative solutions that address supply chain performance, resilience and environmental transition challenges.
Automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, digital twins, flow digitalization and advanced management tools: the projects developed within Log’in are based on real-life use cases to facilitate the transition from demonstrator to operational deployment. This approach delivers tangible gains in productivity, service quality and environmental performance.

Shap’in, the Techcenter Dedicated to the Aerostructures of the Future
Located next to Daher’s Saint-Aignan-de-Grandlieu site near Nantes, Shap’in is dedicated to advanced aerostructures and next-generation composite materials. Its objective is to accelerate innovation and increase the technological maturity of solutions addressing the technical, economic and environmental challenges of tomorrow’s aerospace industry.
Projects developed at Shap’in focus on thermoplastic composites, new thermoset resins, weight reduction strategies and advanced manufacturing processes. These developments contribute to the design of lighter, higher-performing, more sustainable and more recyclable aerostructures for future aircraft programs.
This ability to transform research into concrete industrial solutions was recognized through a JEC Composites Innovation Award, received for an innovative composite rib developed for future aerospace programs. This international recognition highlights Daher’s expertise in developing high-value-added composite technologies that address the industry’s performance, lightweighting and sustainability challenges.

Fly’in, the Techcenter Dedicated to Sustainable Aviation
Located in Tarbes, at Tarbes-Lourdes-Pyrénées Airport, Fly’in is the techcenter dedicated to hybrid and lower-carbon aviation. It supports Daher’s aircraft manufacturing activity and prepares the technologies that will contribute to the evolution of future aircraft.
Fly’in brings together engineering, rapid prototyping, modeling, data science, ground testing and flight testing capabilities within a single environment. The center accelerates technology exploration, innovation validation and integration into future aerospace programs. Nearly 60 employees currently work on site, combining complementary skills in support of aerospace innovation.
The techcenter builds in particular on the lessons learned from the EcoPulse demonstrator, developed with Safran and Airbus. Its flight-test campaign provided valuable insights into hybrid-electric technologies, distributed propulsion and their integration into next-generation aircraft.
Fly’in also contributes to the development of innovative aerial solutions such as the EyePulse MALE drone demonstrator, designed for surveillance and long-endurance missions. Alongside EcoPulse, this project illustrates the techcenter’s ability to explore new aircraft architectures and prepare the technologies that will shape the future of aviation.
