Fasken and De Gaulle Fleurance are pleased to host an exclusive, private dinner at the Maison de la Recherche, during the Eurosatory conference. This invitation only event will convene senior leaders from the Canadian and French defence sectors, government, law, and finance for a strategic discussion on bilateral collaboration in defence procurement and innovation.
Designed as a high-trust, executive-level forum, the evening will provide a platform for meaningful dialogue and relationship-building, with a focus on joint ventures, co-development opportunities, and cross-border industrial partnerships in the context of evolving NATO priorities, European defence initiatives, and accelerated re-armament efforts across allied states.
With participation from senior representatives across industry and government, the discussion will explore emerging procurement priorities, funding frameworks, and industrial capabilities shaping the European defence landscape — including opportunities arising under the Security Action for Europe (SAFE) arrangement, of which Canada is now a participant.
Through a carefully structured yet informal setting, guests will benefit from peer-level networking, direct access to decision-makers, and insights into upcoming defence programs and collaboration pathways. To encourage open and candid discussion, the event will be held strictly under the Chatham House Rules.
We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you to this exclusive event in Paris.
