The sectors best represented responded to the priorities listed in 2010 in the defense and security field: armored vehicles, weapons and ammunition, communication systems and communications, uniforms and military equipment.

Further to the curiosity of more than the 35.000 visitors, ALMEX 2010 was the commercial phenomenon of the year to at least 2.500 professional visitors and state authorities, who discovered through this rare event, a new page in the defence and security domain.

TRENDS & TOPICS: ALBANIAN MARKET

The fusion of the local demand and international supply of innovative defense and security technology systems, grants ALMEX 2011, the status of a special meeting place where to unfold the "progression of a regional market in development", which still remains a roulette of opportunities for foreign investors.

An early national military industry of supplying arms & ammunition, uniforms & equipment, explosives, etc., is waiting to be overhauled with technological innovation (whether through granting concessions for specific segments), in order to be effective not only for the domestic market of a NATO member states, but also to interact and export in the near future.

Ammunition disposal and demilitarization industry has already shaped its physiognomy, being ready to welcome investment and valuable guidance from the international organizations. This ample trajectory of the overhauling process and projects of swapping stock materials with new products, is expected to tangentially involve other industries such as metallurgy, processing of military goods for industrial use, high security transportation, etc.

For the last edition exhibitors, participating in ALMEX 2011, means to reinforce the market knowledge and looking forward to conclude the projects started already.

TRENDS & TOPICS: BALKAN & SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE MARKET

Albania is often designated as “the natural gate to the Balkans”, and the same leading position will be shown through the second edition of ALMEX, an event involving the entire Balkan and SEE area by becoming a strategic landmark in this part of Europe.

Through ALMEX 2001, international exhibitors will sense the trends and novelties of the defense and security industry in the Western Balkan and SEE countries, given that some of these countries are on the verge of NATO or EU membership and their governments’ budgets are affluent in the voices of reforms and standardizations of the Defense and Security field. Participating in ALMEX will mean to hold a firm position in the circles of international actors that influence the regional market of Albania, Montenegro, Kosovo, Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, etc..

ALMEX IS MODERNISATION
Modernization over time, coupled with integration of the Armed Forces into NATO, reinforces planned national investments for defense during 2010 and beyond, and attracts the attention of strategic investors and multinational industrialists. The aim is to revitalize and revive specialized military capabilities, and the development of new infrastructures.
A further reason for the organization of ALMEX, is the early tradition of armory production, arsenal and military uniforms (Poliçan, Gramsh etc.), a tradition that feels the need for a moving force of marketing that would make it known in national level as well as international.

ALMEX IS PARTNRESHIP
Analogously, a new era seems to open up for this industry with the reformulation of legal platform that foresees the private entrepreneurship in partnership with government institutions; the careful overseeing of the State Export Control Authority (SECA), guarantees the flow of the activities of import & export of military equipments and those with dual-use, by facilitating the access and by forging ahead the relationships with international entrepreneurship in this domain.

ALMEX IS TACTICAL INTELLIGENCE
The ongoing reform of key governmental structures such as the State Police - accomplished with the assistance of PAMECA and ICITAP and the newly proposed missions of the State Intelligence Service coupled with issues of border control, organized crime, illegal trafficking, and terrorism, provide ALMEX suppliers of current and future technologies with opportunities to assist in improving operational capabilities, equipment, training programs, and information, document, and facility security.

ALMEX IS SECURITY
Also, the safeguard and security of information data, bank security, press and the safekeeping of highly confidential documents, will be some other links on which ALMEX will be focused.
Industry of Private Security is also experiencing a vital season both in Albania and in the Balkan Region, supported by the reformation of the legal basis and regulation of the fair competition in the market. The fast development of this industry will also influence on the way ALMEX will propose to the operators of the Private Security the most efficient solutions and choices.

LIVE DEMONSTRATIONS
Curios hands-on exhibitions will be another characteristic of ALMEX: including shooting ranges and military tactical areas that will be the natural background for live demonstrations of weapons, vehicles and communications equipment exhibited at ALMEX. Instructive shooting shows military vehicles, communication equipment and fight simulations coupled with other attractions like the Exhibition of Uniforms, and the Arsenal of Trophy Weapons, will welcome not only the professional military and defense industry visitor, but also the civilian population at large in the second edition of ALMEX.

In the first edition of ALMEX, trade visitors and official delegations attended the live and dynamic demonstrations animated by the Albanian Armed Forces and the participating companies in live testing of their products, such as uniforms, technology and communication systems, armaments and communication systems, armaments and armored vehicles, etc; Albanian Navy Forces simulated a Rescuing Operation and Anti-terrorism Fight; Unit of Neutralization of Armed Elements (RENEA) offered a successful simulation of Criminal and Anti-terrorism Fight, and in the Battalion of Special Operations in Zallherr, a spectacular live show of armored vehicles, communication systems, uniforms and armaments was displayed at ALMEX.
