IDEX: Bahrain International attend IDEX

The requirement for airport, aviation and homeland security knowledge and technology has increased dramatically and is rapidly emerging as an important high growth sector.  In recognition of this and the real significant regional opportunities, BIAS organisers have responded by creating a dedicated 1000 sq m pavilion comprising shell scheme and self-build exhibition areas, a networking lounge and live indoor flying arena for the demonstration of micro-UAS and surveillance equipment.  It is anticipated that companies will be exhibiting their cutting edge technologies at the show, featuring surveillance technology including unmanned systems, access control software, cargo screening, Bluetooth tracking technology and the like.   

Amanda Stainer, commercial director at FIL said: “The last decade has seen a dramatic rise in the usage of security and surveillance equipment within the Middle East and globally. Recognising this growth market we are delighted to launch the Security and Surveillance Pavilion at BIAS 2014, which will offer exhibitors and visitors alike a focal point from which to review the new technologies available and generate business opportunities in region.” 

Yousif Mahmoud, director for BIAS sales & marketing, BCAA added: ‘IDEX is one of the largest defence exhibitions and conferences and a platform for attendees to familiarise themselves with the Bahrain International Airshow and the market benefits it can offer. We hope to develop some excellent relationships here ahead of our third show in January 2014.”
