ALBANIAN MILITARY EXHIBITION
ALMEX – Albanian Military Exhibition was born as the passport of “Albania in NATO”, as the country itself became involved in synergies and Euro-Atlantic integration as a new resounding voice in the international circles of Defense and Security. As the demands of the state Defense and Security Institutions were arched in the light of the criteria for reform and standardization, inseparable from a global mentality and vision, KlikEkspoGroup chose to open a window on this industry with a unique event embracing all the Balkans, where such defense and security events are still rare. In the portfolio of KlikEkspoGroup, the Exhibitions on Defense and Security, are the most particular occurrences: for visitors it is the cult event that never stops arousing curiosity, and for the exhibitors, domestic, international, private entities or state institutions, it is a demonstration of the “power of good deeds” in all perspectives.
PARTICIPATION ADVANTAGES
By the metamorphosis that the whole defense and security system is going through, Western Balkans turns out to be a key factor to attracting the attention of world leaders to propose fast and long-term cooperation. The fusion of the local immediate demand and swift international supply, grant to the event the status of a unique summit to display such “market progression”.
The Western Balkans are a roulette of opportunities: an early industry in the military sector, armaments, ammunition, uniforms, explosives, military training and education facilities, academic and training institutions for the qualification and formation of defense and security manpower, are the areas where offers for technological innovation and smart solutions are welcomed.
The reconstruction and the modernization of the NATO Air Base in Kuçova – Albania, is an important joint investment of the North Atlantic Alliance and the Albanian Government, the first one in the Western Balkans of these dimensions, and testifies about the serious partnership and concrete contribution of Albania to the NATO mission.
The colossal training of NATO forces, “Defender Europe 2021”, which started strategically in Durrës in early May 2021, with the allocation of 6,000 troops in 6 different military bases in Albania, such as in Kuçova, Farka, Bizë, is a crucial indication that shows the advantage of Albania in the Region of the Western Balkans as a member of the Alliance, under an economic reading-key as well.
EXHIBITORS’ PROFILE
TISDE – Tirana International Security & Defence Expo, is the 360-degree platform of state-of-the-art technologies, with abundant information and smart solutions about the defense and security issues. TISDE enables exhibiting companies to safely “anchor” closer to the target audience; exhibitors crown participation not only by making new contacts that turn into end customers, but also with concrete and valuable trade-partners in all other chains of production and distribution of the exhibited products and services.
The uniqueness of Tirana International Security & Defence Expo, brings to the center of attention the “human factor”: the format of the new military officer in front of smart equipment and weapons, law enforcement structures closer to the citizen, and human resources in front of technological innovations. “Security” comes in all its synonymy in the daily life of the citizen as much as the concept of “protection” becomes more perceptible and more comprehensible.
