WHAT IS GICAT?
The Groupement des industries françaises de la défense et de la sécurité terrestres et aéroterrestres (GICAT), founded in 1978, has over 390 members representing major groups, ETIs and SMEs.
These members cover a broad spectrum of industrial, research, service and consulting activities for national and international military and civilian components involved in land or air-land security and/or defense.
GICAT'S OBJECTIVES
GICAT represents the interests of French land and air defense and security manufacturers around four objectives:
- Organizing dialogue between institutions and manufacturers in the sector
- Offer services to its members to help them grow in France and abroad
- Creating an environment conducive to exchanges between manufacturers
- Enhance the know-how and image of the sector's industry
GICAT's international reach is supported by international trade shows Eurosatory in France and Expodefensa in Colombia organized by its subsidiary COGES, as well as at a number of defense and/or security trade fairs abroad.
