Brigadier Nasser bin Fahad al-Thani, president of the 2014 Milipol Qatar Committee, has announced that preparations are under way to organise the 10th edition of the region’s most influential trade exhibition dedicated to internal state security – Milipol Qatar 2014. |
The event will take place from October 20 to 22 at Doha Exhibition Centre.
Organised by the Ministry of Interior in partnership with Comexposium Security from Paris, Milipol Qatar has, since its creation in 1996, established itself as the main platform for Qatar and the region for internal security requirements due to the professionalism and quality of exhibitors and visitors.
The event also provides Qatar-based internal security professionals and suppliers with access to the latest industry techniques, technology and procedures, security markets in the entire region as well as key international product and service providers to meet a fast-developing environment that offers medium- to long-term economic and strategic projects.
“All the preparations, arrangements and procedures for Milipol Qatar 2014 have been in accordance with the work plans developed by the committee from the end of 2012 to date,” said Brigadier Nasser. “The committee has taken part in many international security exhibitions with the aim of marketing the show and inviting the largest number of international companies to participate in Milipol Qatar 2014.”
“Through a platform such as Milipol Qatar, all professionals in Qatar and the region involved in internal state security will be kept up to date not just of the latest threats and risks, but also of the most effective way of preventing them,” he explained.
“Thus, we are truly honoured to be hosting this event in Qatar again and believe that the record-setting, biggest and most popular edition of this influential security event in 2012 will definitely be surpassed this year.”
At every edition of Milipol Qatar, some of the world’s leading manufacturers and service providers come together and present their latest innovations to security sector professionals from many regional and international countries.
In 2012, the event witnessed a record participation of 244 international exhibitors from 37 countries (up 10% from previous edition). Additionally, there were 242 official delegates from 28 countries and 5,820 visitors from 66 countries (up 5% from 2010), who utilised 5,403sqm of floor space at Doha Exhibition Centre, an increase of 19% from the 2010 edition.
The event’s success was further highlighted by 53mn euros (QR262mn) worth of internal security contracts signed by the Ministry of Interior alone.
