As DSA 2012 opens at the Putra World Trade Centre today, it will open up business opportunities for the local defence industry to forge smart and strategic partnerships with original equipment manufacturers, as well as promote local products to the international market.
Defence Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zahid Hamidi, on 4 April, had said that DSA 2012 could generate over RM200 million in foreign exchange.
This is based on the fact that this year's event, to be held from 16-19 April is much bigger than the previous
event, he said. Zahid said more than RM180 million in foreign exchange was generated during DSA 2010, while the government of Malaysia had also signed contracts, MoUs and Letters of Intent worth more than RM11.28 billion. Zahid said the exhibition will also create various networking opportunities between local and international defence companies.
Malaysia's national pavilion sees the participation of Amdac, Boustead, DRB-Hicom, DEFTECH, Nadi Defence, Sapura, SME Ordnance, Westar LDV, and Zetro.
