Shark Robotics, a French SME and world leader in fire-fighting robots, has just entered into a strategic partnership with the Fédération nationale de sapeurs-pompiers de France (FNSPF) to share their expertise and explore the contribution that robotics can make to improving the safety and efficiency of operations. This partnership marks the joint commitment of the FNSPF and Shark Robotics to improve the performance of civil security.

_"It is an honour for Shark Robotics to formalise today this strong relationship with the French Fire Service by signing this partnership," said Cyrille KABBARA, Chairman and CEO of Shark Robotics, adding: "This partnership is in line with the DNA of Shark Robotics and will help strengthen the effectiveness and versatility of our robots to support the fire brigade in a useful and effective way in the face of the increasing number, complexity and danger of fires.
