- The planned Saudi pavilion at the Defense and Security Equipment International (DSEI) will feature the Kingdom’s military industries ecosystem
DUBAI: Saudi Arabia is participating at a defense show in London, in new efforts to bring its military industries to international spotlight.
The planned Saudi pavilion at the Defense and Security Equipment International (DSEI) will feature the Kingdom’s military industries ecosystem, the General Authority of Military Industries (GAMI) said in a statement.
It will also promote investment opportunities and explore long-term partnerships with international companies.
“We are open to forming strategic partnerships that will help the military industries sector’s development and growth,” Ahmad Abdulaziz Al-Ohali, governor of GAMI, said.
The Saudi defense military regulator is keen in “enhancing domestic capabilities and fostering collaboration between local and foreign suppliers,” he added.
This follows the Kingdom’s latest supply chain initiative, where GAMI identified 74 investment opportunities across six areas of the military industries sector.
The Kingdom will be represented by officials from GAMI, the Ministry of Investment (MISA), Saudi Arabian Military Industries (SAMI), and the World Defense Show (WDS).
GAMI created the Military Industry Marketplace, which is open to local and international companies who wish to pursue investments or partnerships.
The event will be held in London’s Excel on Sept. 14 to 17.
