Chairman of GICAT since July 2016, he is therefore renewed in his duties proposing a roadmap which is a continuation of the actions carried out by the group for two years, with a new impetus:

• Reinforced dialogue: continue exchanges with institutional actors, in particular those of the Ministries of defense and internal affairs, to best meet the objectives and needs of the French defense and security strategies;
•  Innovation: further increase our capacity to innovate, in line with the ambitions of the different ministries, by exploiting the synergies between the members of the cluster (large groups, SMEs  and mid-cap companies, research centers and start-ups);
• Export: contribute to the success of our members with more services and exhibitions and keep the world  leadership for land forces exhibitions with the next edition of Eurosatory in 2020;
• Europe: support our members via a greater presence in Brussels particularly within the framework of  the European Fund of Defense development and the funding which can result from it;
• Sector: strengthen support to the land and air-land industrial sector to meet current and future challenges, such as the SCORPION program or the Olympic Games 2024;
• SMEs: continue to represent SMEs and meet their expectations, particularly in the context of the new SME Action Plan.
