Clarion Defence & Security and Crisis Intelligence Japan will launch and operate Japan’s first tri-service defence exhibition & conference, “DSEI Japan”.
DSEI will take place for the first time at Makuhari Messe, 18-20 November 2019.
The exhibition and associated conferences will run biennially thereafter, and in keeping with the themes of DSEI in London, DSEI Japan will cover all four domains of land, naval, aviation and security.
Clarion Defence & Security’s managing director Tim Porter said: “We have been working with Asari-san and his team at Crisis Intelligence for many years now, and have been tremendously impressed with the relationships they have built up right across the Japanese defence industry, especially with ATLA, JMOD and other official bodies.”
“I’m delighted to have the opportunity to work CI in Japan to create a brand new show in Tokyo – DSEI Japan 2019,” Porter added
Mr Asari, CEO of Crisis Intelligence said: “We have been honoured to support ATLA and Japanese industry in their participation at very many international defence events across the world over the past six years, and it is a logical progression of that activity to now be working with Clarion to create a tri-service event in Japan.“
Mr Asari said: “It is important for all of the defence community here in Japan to have an internationally-recognised defence event in Japan, and we are delighted that Clarion have agreed to partner with us...”
“We very much look forward to working with them to ensure that DSEI Japan 2019 is a great success,” added Mr Asari.
Clarion is the largest organiser of major defence exhibitions worldwide with a portfolio including DSEI (London, UK), LAAD (Brazil), BIDEC (Bahrain) and EDEX (Cairo, Egypt).
Crisis Intelligence Japan has operated in the defence and security industry in Japan for many years. It is responsible for the organisation of Japanese industrial and military participation in many international defence exhibitions, where it works in close co-operation with the Japanese Ministry Of Defense (“JMOD”) to support Japanese industry in their export efforts.
