| The
world meeting of all Land, Airland
and Homeland Defence & Security
players
Eurosatory
is the international exhibition
that has asserted itself as number
1 in the field of Land, Airland
and Homeland Defence and Security.
Eurosatory
is a one-week event held in Paris
which brings together all the world’s
leading players and political and
military decision-makers from:
-
Armed and Homeland Security Forces,
-
the acquisitions and R&D departments
of Ministries of Defence and the
Interior,
-
Industrial prime contractors and
subcontractors,
-
Defence labs and research centres,
-
International think-tank organisations,
-
The specialist and general media.
They
come to Eurosatory to anticipate
the Defence of tomorrow in terms
of equipment, doctrine and training
means, having regard for the technologies
and future developments of weapons
systems, forces systems and methods
of intervention of future coalitions.
In
June 2008, 1,210 Exhibitors from
52 countries, 117 Official Delegations
from 70 nations and 250 Eurosatory
Guests, 52,414 Visitors from 131
countries, and 666 journalists representing
328 media from all 5 continents
were at the Paris-Nord Villepinte
exhibition grounds.
Access
to the Global Defence Market
Today,
Eurosatory is the gateway to the
global Defence market.
It provides top officials with an
international business week at which
meetings take place between:
- system-user Armed Forces from
around the world;
- national Defence procurement agencies,
the Defence industry’s ‘customers’;
- Official Delegations: national
decision-makers and systems buyers;
- Eurosatory-Guests: experts, advisors
and opinion-leaders;
- Industrialists: prime contractors,
equipment manufacturers, subcontractors,
research and
development laboratories, institutes,
service companies;
- Strategy consultants who facilitate
access to their fields of expertise;
- international organisations including
the UN, NATO and the EU, which set
standard and are in search of the
equipment needed for current and
future operations.
The
“Eurosatory one-to-one business
meetings®” form a service
provided as part of the event and
are a key tool for corporate business
development.
The
‘Showcase’ for innovation
and the technologies of tomorrow
Eurosatory
is above all:
- an extremely extensive exhibition
of real weapons equipment and systems,
- and a clear display by industrialists
of their ambition to unveil new
products on the international scene
during the show.
The
“Innovation” stands,
the live and static demonstrations,
and the technological clusters grouping
together exhibitors from a given
field, make Eurosatory the leading
event at which to discover new products
and global launches, to understand
and discover technical developments
and to thus anticipate the Defence
of the future.
A
'hub for ideas' to prepare the Defence
of the future
Eurosatory
is an event which provides insight
into the major forthcoming trends
in Defence.
With the Symposium on ‘Future
Coalitions’, the international
Homeland Security conference focusing
on urban areas, the inclusion of
internationally-renowned Think Tanks,
the specialised and the numerous
media interventions it involved,
in June 2008 Eurosatory truly confirmed
its status as an international marketplace
of ideas.
And
top international leaders make no
mistake, as attested by the presence
of Mr. Javier Solana (High Representative
for the European Security and Defence
Policy / ESDP), Mr. Alexander Weis,
Director of the European Defence
Agency (EDA), General John Craddock,
Supreme Allied Commander Europe
/ SACEUR (NATO), 12 Ministers of
Defence, 10 Secretaries of State
for Defence, 12 National Armament
Directors and 17 Army Chiefs of
Staff.
As
for industrialists, 2,109 Chairmen,
Vice-Presidents and Directors chose
to run their company’s stands
themselves. Out of the 13,178 corporate
representatives at the event, 30%
were members of top management (2008
figures).
Such
attendance of leading international
political, military and industrial
officials fuels a wealth of theoretical
and technical thinking and explains
the media presence from all five
continents.
