Past event: Soldier Technology

Global Soldier & Marine Systems Conference & Exhibition

Government spend on soldier systems and equipment is changing in line with national defence restructuring and the wind-down of the war in Afghanistan. So, as a result, Soldier Technology, the world's only global soldier and marine modernisation meeting, has developed an agenda and discussion format  to address this challenge. The event attracts 450+ soldier modernisation programme managers, prime contractors and equipment manufacturers annually.

Soldier Technology will gather the key national programmes and their stakeholders mentioned above to drive innovation and export opportunities

New Features of Soldier Technology in 2013

• Enabling more information exchange and networking through shorter programme and tech briefings, more open discussion and more time networking
• The creation of a new SME innovation zone to encourage development of new technologies
• New categories will be represented such as airborne and mounted soldier equipment enabling industry to develop capability across the soldier domain
• New geographical regions will present to enable discussion for export opportunities. For example Brazil, Russia, India, China, Japan, Turkey and Eastern Europe
• Wider range of briefings to give a holistic view of investment opportunities from international soldier programmes, R&D, SME’s, prime contractors and tire one suppliers
