Many of the participants expressed their willingness to again join the next edition in 2024. Major General Al-Thani confirmed that communication is currently underway to sign partnership contracts with these companies, which are mainly specialised in cybersecurity.
Milipol International Events Director Francois Jullier stressed the importance of the event in the region to bring together the major players in the homeland security and civil defence industries and serve as a platform to create connection.
This year’s edition was also distinguished by its inclusion of security equipment, civil defence, anti-drone technology and firefighting, sectors on technical solutions, safe management of major events, combating trans-border cybercrime, which is evolving and proliferating, in addition to new ‘generations’ of threats.
Jullier expressed his admiration for the efforts of the country’s Ministry of Interior for organising such an important event, and for providing all means of support to exhibitors, creating an atmosphere conducive for closing of deals and agreements.
Milipol Qatar, which is organised every two years, allows companies to showcase their latest innovations in various sectors of security, civil defence, defence solutions and equipment including security and communications technology, rescue and law enforcement products, communications software and security sector innovations.
