In addition, the show responds to the government’s aims to develop Thailand’s defence technology capability and achieve self-reliance in the local defence industry, reduce the country’s dependence on imports, promote technology transfer and export locally made military equipment. The Ministry of Defence aims to develop the local defence industry via a public-private partnership through which the government will collaborate with local and foreign companies in investing in infrastructure, facilities and establishing networks within the local defence industry.
Defense & Security 2022 is hosting over 318 brands from 37 countries including 15 major nation pavilions in the defence and internal security industry. The show provides the opportunity for people in the industry to explore possible partnership opportunities with some of the major defence and security manufacturers to further develop the nation’s defence industry.
