Defence companies from over 50 countries and 36 country-specific international pavilions will take part in Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) that will take place from Sept. 12-15 at ExCel in London. There will be over 100 companies exhibiting at the event for the first time.
The event is seeing a significant uptake in companies from the Scandinavian region. This comes after Finland joined the NATO alliance in April this year, with Sweden awaiting ratification for its membership. Placing international cooperation at the forefront, DSEI is expected to host representatives from not only the UK armed forces, but also the NATO alliance and the respective defence and security organisations from nations across the globe.
In the Estonian pavilion, among the exhibitors is Milrem Robotics, a leading autonomous machine and system developer that eelivered its flagship unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) to Ukraine last year. Estonia, a key NATO ally, has increased its presence at the event, booking a space three times larger than in 2019 to showcase its industry’s cutting-edge solutions. Similarly, Slovak Republic company Konstrukta – Defense has to date supplied a number of self-propelled howitzers to the Ukrainian war effort. Making its first appearance at DSEI, Konstrukta will showcase new products in ammunition and electronic systems.
The Swedish pavilion will be representing high-tech companies, including Carmenta, which has developed cutting-edge geo-spatial software that enables the visualisation and analysis of geospatial information.
DSEI is also attracting companies from wider afield, notably from the Asia-Pacific region, reflecting the larger effort to bolster defence ties and capabilities. South Korean company Hanwha Systems will be demonstrating its wide range of solutions in the defence sphere. Of significance is Hanwha’s involvement in military reconnaissance satellite programmes and avionics solutions, both of which play key roles in fixed wing, rotary wing and unmanned aircrafts. Its UK subsidiary, Hanwha Phasor, will be showcasing its satellite communications flat panel antenna for undisrupted multi-orbit connectivity.
The North American pavilion will house more than 225 companies that encompass a broad span of cross-domain capabilities, from unmanned aerial systems to fire suppression systems to lightweight protective armour. Over 90 of the companies will be exhibiting for the first time proving that the US and Canada is a serious growth market for DSEI. Outside the North American pavilion, household North American defence companies such as Northrop Grumman, L3Harris and Raytheon will also be exhibiting.
“It is hugely encouraging to have so many international companies in attendance at this year’s DSEI,” said Grant Burgham, DSEI Director. “DSEI offers a valuable opportunity in the biennial defence trade show calendar to connect UK companies and their international counterparts, promoting cooperation and bi-lateral trade with international allies. Cooperation is a crucial component in stimulating technological advancement, and by giving companies from all over the globe this platform, it will no doubt further our own capabilities as a nation and those of our allies”.
