SET YOUR SIGHTS ON DEFENSE & SECURITY 2017- Unmatched Business Opportunities in the ASEAN Procurement Market!

According to the Mckinsey & Company report, Southeast Asia is the next growth opportunity for defence and security manufacturers. The dynamic growth of economies in the region presents companies with multiple opportunities. And following a sustained period of positive growth, many Southeast Asian countries are now looking for better protection of their assets especially shipping lanes, ports and maritime boundaries that are supply-chain critical.

Many countries and businesses also seek to defend their territorial integrity as it relates to the fast-changing security situation. While defence spending for the region is growing, the scale and pace varies significantly from country to country. Modernisation and upgrading of aging forces is also driving spending. As a result the demand for defence hardware & software presents excellent business opportunities for companies and has not been seen for many years. Take advantage of it!
