Objectives of the AGIR Regional Meetings

AGIR en Région was conceived and implemented by the National Gendarmerie to share our needs and thereby enable manufacturers to develop solutions tailored to those needs. Far from being a mere exchange, these meetings serve as a true catalyst for public procurement, with more than €2 million in contracts already signed with companies met during previous editions.

What are the goals of this first edition in the Occitanie region?

  • To serve as a melting pot, bringing together the innovation community within French government agencies and local governments with private companies of all sizes and the research community.
  • To serve as a catalyst for capacity building for government entities.

Build an ever-expanding innovation ecosystem! Engage in more dialogue and foster exchange!
