May 16, 2009 - NEW DELHI - To safeguard India from the asymmetric threat of international terrorism, most recently seen in Mumbai in November, the Indian Government is readdressing its internal security strategy, markedly increasing the budget allocation and fast tracking procurements of homeland security and defence systems.
It is within this climate that the second edition of the INDESEC Expo series will take place in New Delhi between 11 - 13 October 2009. INDESEC is the only exhibition and conference held in India integrating the homeland security and defence sectors with a key focus on homeland & border security, network centric operations and maritime security. The event will be held at Pragati Maidan, Central Delhi, to make the event easily accessible for Government visitors.
INDESEC Expo is organised by Informa, the world’s leading information specialist and the owners of global events including the Monaco Yacht Show, Cityscape, 3GSM and Leaders in India. INDESEC Expo 2009 is organised in association with ASSOCHAM- the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India- an apex industry body in India which represents the interests of industry and trade.
“INDESEC Expo 2009 will attract Government decision makers, influencers and end users which is critical if we were to deliver a high level of return of investment in time, money and resources for our Indian and international exhibiting companies” says Alex Nicholl former director of Defence Systems & Equipment International (DSEi) and current Executive Director of Indesec Expo 2009.
On how INDESEC is clearly differentiated from any other defence or security events held in India, Brig. Raj Manchanda, Group Director, Defence and Security Division says, “As the distinction between security and defence becomes less relevant, the co-ordination between Ministries, Police, Coastguard and the three Services becomes hugely important. Their shared knowledge and experience will increase the chance of procuring the right equipment on time and at the right price”.
In addition to senior Ministry representation, INDESEC will attract key decision makers and end users from the paramilitary forces, state police forces, anti-terrorist and Special Forces, emergency and disaster relief forces to create the optimum business environment for both exhibitors and visitors.
