Doha: A delegation of 10 French companies from the NBC Defense GIE will attend the Mlipol Qatar Exhibition in Doha to seek new business opportunities and explore Qatar’s growing markets from October 8 to 10.

A seminar will be organised by the NBC Defense GIE in cooperation with the Trade Commission of the French embassy. The purpose of this seminar is to introduce French know-how and technologies in CBRN – Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear threats to local authorities and companies. 

Bruno Vallayer (pictured), President of GIE Defense NBC said: “Our companies would like to develop their activities in the Gulf countries. Qatar economic and demographic growth and its will to organize sports or cultural events of worldwide scope, have to be accompanied by a strong security policy. The NRBCe threat, whatever its origin might be,  accidental or deliberate, carries a major risk for people and infrastructures. Within the framework of the cooperation of our two countries, and on the occasion of the Milipol Exhibition, the French NRBCe team will present the French military and civilian ability to response to this threat. It will also be an opportunity for attendants to establish or to keep their relations”, he added.

The seminar will present the French “NRBC Defense” military capabilities, the response of French Civil Defense to CBRN issues, the CBRN Defense by the French Government Defense Procurement Agency and the French group of companies (GIE) specialized in “Defense NBC”.

For more than 20 years, the NBC Defense GIE has gathered the main French companies in the NRBCE field in order to offer their French and foreign customers the best solutions in terms of defence.
