Avascent Invited to Exhibit at Eurosatory by French Defense Association GICAT

WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwired - Jun 9, 2014) - Representatives from the Washington, DC and Paris offices have been invited to represent Avascent at the international land and air-land defense and security exhibition, Eurosatory, from 16-20 June in Paris, France.

COGES, a subsidiary of GICAT -- the French land defense and security industry association -- consistently seeks to improve services provided to exhibitors at the show. To this end it has invited Avascent, as part of a delegation of management consultants, to provide consulting services to attending contractors, addressing commercial strategies within the international defense and aviation markets.

"We are looking forward to discussing the outlook for land, soldier, and other systems in the US, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia," said Jim Tinsley, Managing Director at Avascent's Washington location. "While there are markets facing severe austerity, we see promise in helping players weather the storm through partnering, targeting of niche opportunities, and pricing solutions effectively for the large remaining programs."

Christina Balis, Principal at Avascent's Paris bureau, commented that "this year's Eurosatory will unfold against the backdrop of several international security developments with lasting implications for the defense industry. The absence of a Russian official delegation and the first-ever Japanese pavilion at the show are indicative of the changes underway not only in European and transatlantic affairs, but also in industrial relations with countries in Asia and the Middle East."

Avascent will be located in Hall 6 at Stand #B683.
