Agenda

GICAN, with its events subsidiary SOGENA, organizes the two major trade shows EURONAVAL and EUROMARITIME. They enable us to put our sector in the spotlight, raise awareness among public authorities, and enable exhibitors to develop new business relationships. The Groupement also federates several French Pavilions at foreign trade shows, and participates as a partner in numerous domestic events.
