*Past speakers at marcus evans Defence Events globally
The last few years have seen a rapid acceleration of defence spending
across the Middle East, Africa, Central and South Asia region. Serving
those who serve their countries, defence procurement professionals
are entrusted with creating more effective and efficient defence
organisations. Balancing the delivery of the best equipment and support
while controlling costs, investing in the technologies and trainings that
will boost operational advantage, anticipating and fulfilling demand
to provide a robust and cost-effective supply chain, developing strong
supplier relationships that ensure supply and foster innovation – these are
the priorities procurement defence chiefs are on a mission to accomplish.
