OPV Middle East – Why now?
OPV Middle East is the pre-eminent naval conference focusing on technologies and services to increase maritime security in the Middle East. Launched last year, the conference gave exclusive access to presentations and networking lunches and dinners with many of the leading decision makers in Middle East based navies.
With tens of billions of dollars ring fenced for naval acquisitions in the GCC because of the rising importance to protecting offshore assets from terrorism and criminal activity – this conference gives Naval decision makers the perfect opportunity to liaise with their community and discuss solutions to their missions.
