*Past speakers at marcus evans defence events globally
The last few years have seen a rapid acceleration of defence spending
in the Middle East and Africa, and the total MEA defence market is
forecasted to grow to USD 45.49 billion by 2021, at a compound
annual growth rate of 4.9 per cent. Civil unrest, international instability,
and global terrorism have called for a total review of regional armed
forces. These critical concerns are steering defence procurement and
training, and driving the need for modernisation programmes and
supplier diversification.
The premier event for defence leaders in the
Middle East, Africa, Central & South Asia
