Defense Industry Business Forum December 6-8, 1999 in Toulouse, France
SPOSORED BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE (DOD), THE FRENCH ARMAMENTS
ACQUISITION AGENCY (DGA), AND THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE The
defense and aerospace business is going global. U.S. defense
procurement will be increasingly integrated with that of NATO. In order
to compete and grow, your company needs to form alliances and
partnerships with key firms in Europe. To help your company succeed,
the U.S. Department of Defense, in cooperation with the French
Armaments Acquistion Agency, and the U.S. Department of Commerce is
holding a three-day, partnering forum December 6-8, 1999 in Toulouse,
France. On hand will be senior level U.S. and French defense officials
to explain how to do business in the new international partnering
environment. Speakers include Dr. Jacques Gansler, Deputy Under
Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology, and the head of
the French Defense Acquistion Agency, Mr. Jean-Yves Helmer. Equally
important, the program includes face-to-face meetings between French
firms and U.S. companies seeking to expand sales in Europe and the rest
of the world. Hear directly from the DOD and DGA decision-makers about
opportunities in both countries created by defense procurement reform.
Move forward in forming partnerships and alliances through
pre-arranged, one-on-one meetings with French Systems and
Service-specific programs. Better understand the respective business
environments through hands-on case studies and discussions with
representatives of the industrial, financial, and political
establishments. Don't miss the opportunity to leverage the assembled
resources, and enhance your international position. A team of
marketing, negotiation, and intellectual property experts from
Foresight Science & Technology, a firm specializing in technology
partnerships, will accompany the U.S. delegation to support your
