Excitement grows for BIDEC 2021

Participants have already started beelining for the next edition of the just concluded Bahrain’s tri-service defence exhibition, which is continuing to drew tremendous responses from end-users, investors and decision-makers alike. Many participants have shared their enthusiasm with organisers saying that they are looking forward to returning to Bahrain International Defence Exhibition and Conference in its next edition in 2021.

The biennial event, the only tri-service defence exhibition in Bahrain, is seen as a unique platform to remain abreast of the latest development in the local and regional defence industry and to showcase the latest technological innovations. “The exhibition offered us ample opportunities to interact with several parties,” Yoonhwan In of South Korea’s Special Purpose Vehicle told BNA. South Korea is among the new nations that joined a growing list of countries participating in BIDEC.

“We now look forward to participating in the next BIDEC and capitalize on the opportunities that we have built during this year’s participation,” added Yoonhwan. Kenneth Longmuir, head of Global Marketing and Sales at Robus System, is also looking forward to the next BIDEC. He described his experience in BIDEC 2019 as “successful”. Robus System, which specialises in mobile re-deployable shelters, has showcased its ability to deploy a massive all-purpose tent with a minimum man-power at the expo.

“The system ensures protection to all occupants in all types of condition, sun, rain, snow, wind or inclement weather.” Longmuir explained that their system is capable of protecting its occupants in all types of inclement weather condition. “The outdoor system is so versatile and flexible that it can be operational in 5 to 10 minutes,” Longmuir added.

BIDEC, held under the patronage of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, concluded on Wednesday. Special tributes were paid to the Chairman of the High Organising Committee, National Security Advisor and Royal Guard Commander Major-General HH Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa for the impeccable organization and resounding achievements.
