EURONAVAL DNA
Euronaval is an event organised by GICAN (Groupement des Industries de Construction et Activités Navales) and SOGENA (a subsidiary of GICAN).
Created in 1968 for the French naval industry, Euronaval has gradually opened up to European and then international manufacturers, becoming the global benchmark for naval defence.
Keeping abreast of the latest geostrategic and economic developments around the world, this event is constantly evolving and adding innovative technological products to each new edition. This responsiveness enables the biennial event to present the answers to the major naval and maritime challenges of the 21st century.
For over 50 years, the exhibition’s strength has been its ability to attract the most important official delegations (government decision-makers, chiefs of staff of foreign navies). In 2024, the trade fair welcomed 150 french and international delegations.
For its 30th edition, EURONAVAL will be held from Tuesday 3 to Friday 6 November at Paris Le Bourget.
EURONAVAL will be THE meeting place for all countries concerned by the protection of maritime areas and safety at sea and from the sea.
Highlights of the exhibition include :
TV SET - EURONAVAL TALKS
New in 2024: a dedicated TV set extended the EURONAVAL TALKS, broadcast from June 2023 to June 2024. These quarterly digital events helped maintain strong ties with the naval defence community and remain available on our YouTube channel.”
