Encouraged

South Africa has expanded its pavilion by 46%, Bulgaria

In
addition, Canada and Belarus will host Country Pavilions
for the first time next year, proving that the region's
largest defence and security show is still generating
fresh interest from investors and exhibitors across the
globe.
Returning
again, Germany, USA, Turkey, Italy and France continue
to occupy the largest country pavilion spaces. In all
IDEX 2011 will receive a total of 31 country pavilions
with a 12% increase in the total country pavilion space,
taking up over 50% of the floor space available at IDEX
2011.
"We
are delighted with the response to IDEX's upcoming 10th
anniversary. The show has gradually increased in size
and significance over the years and this time several
country pavilions have expanded their presence. This increasing
interest and expansion bodes well for potential business
deals to take place at the event in February" said
