Big players back Doha marine defence expo

Doha, January 17, 2012

Some of the world’s biggest companies in maritime defence technology will exhibit a range of cutting-edge products including electronics, security systems and military craft at an upcoming exhibition in Doha.

The third edition of Doha International Maritime Defence Exhibition & Conference (Dimdex) will be held at the new Qatar National Convention Centre from March 26 to 28.

Participating industry giants include Cassidian, DCNS, Diel, Finnmecannica, Lockheed Martin, Lürssen, MDBA, MTU, Nakilat Damen, Raytheon, RMK Marine, Saab and Thales, among others.

Dimdex 2012 is poised to provide an ideal setting for marine defence technology companies from around the world to benefit from the increasingly strong demand in the Mena region for the latest in naval equipment.

Dimdex 2012 will not only feature commercial heavyweights at the exhibition, however, but also host the Middle East Naval Commanders Conference (MENC) that brings senior naval commanders, policy-makers, government officials and analysts together to Doha to discuss key strategic developments in the maritime field.

“Dimdex is a truly international exhibition and conference, and a leader in its field, which is reflected by the eager return of these global players to Doha to showcase their innovative technologies and benefit from our prosperous market,” said Staff Brigadier (Sea) Mohammed Bin Nasser Al Mohannadi, the chairman of Dimdex 2012.

“The participation of numerous industry giants demonstrates that Dimdex 2012 is both the pre-eminent maritime defence event in the Mena region and a force to be reckoned with on the international defence industry circuit.”

“The combination of big industry and defence procurement decision-makers attending the exhibition, together with favourable market conditions in the Mena region means that Dimdex 2012 will provide excellent business opportunities for all,” Al Mohannadi added. – TradeArabia News Service
