L'ADEX Seoul, pas encore prêt pour se trouver dans le top des salons de défense internationaux.
 

ADEX Seoul 2009 Un salon de défense internationale pour la Corée du Sud et les produits Coréens.

Le Salon l’Aérospatial et de la Défense Seoul 2009 fut assez décevant pour notre équipe de reporters. En effet, l’ADEX 2009 se présentait comme un salon international, mais la majorité des exposants sont coréens et américains.
En ce qui concerne le Show aérien, celui se limitait à quelques minutes de démonstration aérienne, concentré sur la production d’avion coréen. Même la présence du nouvel avion de transport A380 n’a pas valorisé le show aérien, qui n’a pas toujours eu l’occasion d’effectuer sa démonstration journalière.


Pour la partie terrestre, un grand nombre d’équipements et de véhicules terrestres étaient exposés sur les pistes de l’aéroport militaire de Séoul, mais concentré sur des petites surfaces, ce qui rendait impossible des prises de vue 360° de chaque véhicule.
Dans le programme des activités du salon, une démonstration dynamique était prévue afin de montrer les capacités opérationnelles des dernières productions coréennes en matière de véhicules blindés et de chars de combat. Nous avons cherché sans succès, à pouvoir assister à cette démonstration qui était réservé aux visiteurs VIP. De plus, cette démonstration se déroulait à plus de 5 heures de route de Seoul, et aucun moyen de transport n’avait été prévu par les organisateurs.


Lors de la conférence de presse d’ouverture du salon, les organisateurs ont fait savoir que l’objectif du salon était d’augmenter l’exportation de produits et technologies de défense coréenne. Vu le peu d’intérêt porté par l’organisation à la Presse Internationale, cela me semble mission impossible. Le salon aérien et de défense Seoul 2009, n’a pas compris l’importance de la presse internationale, dans la diffusion de l’information sur les produits de défense coréens au niveau mondial.

Pour terminer, nous avons déjà participé à plusieurs salons de défense dans le monde, où nous avons chaque fois obtenu une collaboration étroite avec l’organisation pour réaliser nos reportages dans les meilleures conditions.
En résumé, le salon Aérien et de défense ADEX 2009, fut un salon coréen pour les coréens, s’il veut augmenter sa portée internationale, il doit améliorer sa relation avec la presse internationale et, assurer un meilleur service aux visiteurs étrangers du salon.

ADEX Seoul 2009 International defense Exhibition for South Korea and Korean Defense Products

The team of the International Defense magazine was very disappointed about the International Aerospace and Defense Exhibition Seoul 2009. ADEX 2009 was presented as an International event, but most of the Companies were Korean or American.
With regard to the air Show, that was limited to a few minutes of aircraft display, concentrated on the production of Korean aircrafts. Even the presence of the new transport aircraft A380 did not value the Korean Air Show, which did not always to make his daily flight demonstration.


For the land part, a great number of equipment and armoured vehicles were exposed on the military airport tracks of Seoul, but concentrated on small surfaces, which made impossible to take good pictures of each vehicle.
In the program of the activities Seoul 2009, a dynamic demonstration was announced in order to show operational capacities of the last Korean productions of tanks and armored vehicles. We sought without success, to be able to attend this demonstration which was reserved to visitors VIP. For us, this demonstration was one of our motivations to cover this event. Moreover, this demonstration proceeded with more than 5 hours of road of Seoul, and no means of transport had been envisaged by the organizers for the press people.


During the press conference for the opening of Seoul ADEX 2009, the organizers stated that the objective of the defense Exhibition ADEX was to increase the exportation of Korean defense products and technologies. Considering the small of interest by the organization for the International press, it will be difficult to develop the Korean products by the intermediary of the international press, a great value for the communication and marketing on the world level.
The Seoul Air Show 2009 did not understand the importance of the international press to diffuse information about the capacities of Korean defense technologies and engineering on the worldwide level.

To finish, we already took part in several defence exhibition in the world, where we have each time obtained close cooperation with the organization to make our press reports under the best conditions.
In short, the Air Show and defence exhibition ADEX 2009 is a Korean Defense Exhibition for Korean, if he wants to increase his international significance, he must improve his relation with the international press and, to ensure a better service to the foreign visitors of his exhibition.
