Held
for the third year under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Tamim
Bin Hamad Al Thani, Heir Apparent of Qatar and hosted by the Qatar Armed
Forces and the Qatar Emiri Naval Forces, Doha International Maritime
Defence Exhibition & Conference (DIMDEX) has the full support of
the State of Qatar.
World-leaders in maritime defence technology are being drawn to Qatar
for the third Doha International Maritime Defence Exhibition and Conference
(DIMDEX 2012). Industry giants Cassidian, DCNS, Diel, Finnmecannica,
Lockheed Martin, Lürssen, MDBA, MTU, Nakilat Damen, Raytheon, RMK
Marine, Saab, Thales and many more prestigious companies will exhibit
an impressive range of cutting-edge products including electronics,
security systems and military craft at the new Qatar National Convention
Centre in March next year.
In stark contrast to a backdrop of economic gloom in Europe and
North America, 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.

The Chairman
of DIMDEX 2012, Staff Brigadier (Sea) Mohammed Bin Nasser Al Mohannadi
said: “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. 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”.
Al Mohannadi added: “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”. |
