BIDEC EVENT BROCHURE 2017 event introduction For hundreds of years Bahrain has been a hub within the Middle East for trade, travel and more recently support of international navies. BIDEC in 2017 and beyond will welcome the international defence community to the Kingdom of Bahrain to network, learn and foster relationships with allies new and old. Bahrain has a strong history of education and training with many international partners which will only strengthen in years to come; and this is not where Bahrain s international cooperation efforts end either, with the Bahrain Defence Force currently supporting coalition forces overseas. LAND BIDEC will feature land-based technology including current equipment displayed within the Static Display Zone and future technology on show from exhibitors. The Bahrain Army, Royal Guard and National Guard will all be present to network with technology providers, suppliers and prime contractors. air Complimenting the already active area of civil aviation in the region, BIDEC will deliver the military community to Bahrain in October 2017. The event will showcase both fixed and rotary wing airframes and support equipment to the Bahrain Air Force and visiting Air Force delegations. sea With naval regional bases located at Mina Salman Port, Bahrain has always been a central focus for the global naval community, and the recently established GCC Unified Naval Operations Centre Headquarters in Bahrain is further proof of this. With many neighbouring states also investing in naval programs, the region s decision makers will be able to network and discuss their many requirements. The Warship Display will offer an opportunity for international navies to showcase their capabilities and host delegations on board.
