The Cercle de Confiance Espace (CCE), launched at the beginning of 2025, was officially presented at the Paris Air Show, with the signature of more than 30 partners committed to working alongside the Air and Space Force.

Faced with increasing threats in space, it is vital to further strengthen links between operational and industrial players to ensure the defense of French space interests, whether military or civilian. The CCE is a response to this need for enhanced dialogue. This initiative aims to create direct exchanges between industry and the French air and space force, via the CDE, which is responsible for the planning and conduct of military space operations.

The CCE complements the Space Pact led by the French defense procurement agency (DGA), which is part of the same dynamic in search of more agile relations, based on mutual trust and understanding. DGA and the armed forces are working together to meet the pressing challenges posed by space in contemporary warfare.
