Marc Darmon announced GICAT's priorities for 2022:
- Be there for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, by working to ensure that the public authorities take into account the French technological offer proposed by our manufacturers.
- Support our Defense and Security industry, guarantor of our sovereignty, by facilitating dialogue with banking institutions through the continuation of a constructive dialogue begun with the French Banking Federation (FBF) and by relaunching exports, which represents nearly 50% of the land BITD's turnover and contributes positively to the trade balance. A delegation from the FBF will visit Eurosatory for the first time, led by its President Maya Atig to better understand our sector and its challenges.
- Pursuing our European strategy, anticipating the new structure of the EDITB and the funding programs planned by the European Union, foremost among which is the European Defense Fund (EDF). The strong presence this year of European delegations and exhibitors will make it possible to relaunch, consolidate or create new partnerships.
- Amplify the attractiveness of our sector, which recruits from students to executives and from technicians to engineers. The last day of the show will be dedicated more particularly to them with the organization of conferences, round tables and B2B meetings with the French manufacturers who are exhibiting. The opportunity for them to discover a responsible industry, one of the most standardized and regulated, but also innovative with the key to varied offers, in all regions, for stable jobs, offering many possibilities for career development. and well paid.

Charles Beaudouin then presented the figures for the show, which confirms its position as the world leader in its field. Eurosatory 2022 will welcome more than 1,700 exhibitors from 62 countries, including 38% of French companies and a growing number of European companies and NATO countries. More than 250 official delegations from 88 countries are expected to discover a very wide range of products on display in all areas including cyber, civil security, medical, logistics, connectivity, robotics, etc.

Eurosatory will thus demonstrate that the European Defense and Security industry is being put in place and that new sectors are emerging, such as HELPED (Humanitary Emergency Logistic Project and Eco Development), a multi-dimensional solution to complex crises, presented for the first time. In parallel with the materials on display, more than 70 conferences around 200 speakers will be offered, on themes ranging from high intensity to the financing of the Defense industry, from Civil Security to the NRBCE threat.
