The VIP Delegations Programme has always been an important feature in the IMDEX Asia Series.
In 2009, we hosted 45 VIP Delegations from 36 countries with valuable one-on-one meetings arranged with exhibitors. The confirmed Delegations included Australia, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, USA, UK among many others.
For 2011, we are once again honoured to have the Singapore Chief of Navy extend invitations to more than 55 of his Chief of Navy counterparts in the Asia Pacific Region, the Middle East and beyond to attend the Show.
These high-level Delegations and decision-makers will have ample opportunities to update themselves with, and in many instances, experience first-hand, the latest research, development and production of maritime defence systems, equipment and services. The Delegations will have much to evaluate and discuss, and to decide what systems or equipment will be most suitable to meet the needs of their respective Navies.
