Our trade fairs
Every year, GICAT organizes some fifty events in France and abroad, serving its members and the entire defense and security community. These include dinners and breakfast debates, such as the Cercle Prospective Terre, Forum Prospectif Défense and Cercle SécuriTerre. These forums for reflection and dialogue offer national elected representatives, opinion leaders, military and security officials, as well as political and industrial decision-makers, a privileged opportunity to exchange views.
