We promote the sector to public decision-makers.
As the industry’s representative union, GICAN represents the sector in dealings with public authorities (ministries, central, regional and local administrations) and elected representatives (members of parliament, associations of elected representatives, etc.), at both national and European level. Our aim is to raise awareness of the issues facing our sector and influence decision-making, in order to commit our industry to sustainable development.
GICAN organizes numerous meetings and events, and drafts position papers for distribution on these occasions. We meet with groups of parliamentarians from all walks of life in Paris and Brussels, ministerial cabinets, central administrations and other bodies of interest to highlight the challenges facing our civil and military industries: productivity deficit, need for support for innovation and decarbonization, taxonomy issues, competitiveness, recruitment, importance of exports, etc.
