Leading defence and security companies from the US and Canada will take part in the upcoming Milipol Qatar, the international exhibition of homeland security in Doha, Qatar.

The event runs from October 31 through November 2 at the Doha Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The centerpiece of the effort will be the North American Pavilion, organised by Kallman Worldwide, the show’s official representative to the continent, in coordination with numerous government agencies, including the US departments of Commerce, Defence and State and their Canadian counterparts.

 The Pavilion will be a primary destination for buyers looking to meet industry leaders, an on-site business hub for North American exhibitors looking to maximize their exposure and impact at the event, and a forum for all to share industry information and insights.

Stalwarts such as General Dynamics Land Systems Canada and Raytheon as well as privately held small-and-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with fewer than 250 employees, Pavilion exhibitors are looking to initiate or strengthen international partnerships that will generate new business and create more jobs back home.

“When North American companies commit to exhibit at Milipol Qatar, we’re saying we believe in the power of this event to attract real business prospects and customers,” said Kallman Worldwide president and CEO, Tom Kallman.

“As the dynamics of life in the Middle East inspire new strategies for defence and security, we’re proud to work with the Milipol organizers to help our exhibitors succeed in Qatar, whether as prime contractors or subcontractors in support of regional manufacturers, service partners and their end-user customers.”

“In an increasingly dangerous world, security is a growth market, and competition lurks around every corner,” said Kallman. “From surveillance and weapons to equipment and training, our North American exhibitors are bringing exceptional innovation, ideas and experience to Milipol Qatar.” – TradeArabia News Service
