Record attendance at Counter Terror Expo reflects threat from terrorism remains high

London, 21 April 2010 – in excess of 6900 attendees passed through Olympia's National Hall doors for Counter Terror Expo 2010 last week, succinctly demonstrating that the threat from terrorism remains acute and demand for solutions to the issues we face continues to be high.
Held against a backdrop of a world beating high level conference programme and multiple specialist workshops, some 327 brand leaders in the counter terrorism sector exhibited the latest techniques and technologies to a global market space fully expected to double in value over the next eight years.

The very high attendance figures indicate, as if such an indication were needed, that the threat from international terrorism has not abated. The attack on a Detroit bound airliner in December of last year and the more recent bombings on the Moscow metro system are but two examples of this fact. Such continuing attacks worldwide demonstrate that much still needs to be accomplished to protect assets and people from those with the intent to do harm.

“Terrorism clearly remains a top agenda issue for governments the world over. Whereas terrorist attacks were historically seen as attacks against the State and therefore for the State to address, recent years have seen a recognition build within the corporate world globally that it also has a role to play in protecting physical assets, workforce, and customer base. Consequently, the marketplace continues to expand exponentially,” comments a spokesperson for Counter Terror Expo.

Britain itself ranks sixth globally in terms of value of sales in the counter terrorism sector and believes it can expand with what it calls a leading edge in surveillance and bomb detection.
Focused specifically toward the needs of the counter terrorism sector, the event is firmly established as the top global forum in which to debate the threats we face, discuss solutions to them and identify leading providers to do meaningful business with.

Such has been the unprecedented demand from the sector, that Counter Terror Expo will move to the much larger Grand Hall of London's prestigious Olympia Exhibition and Conference Centre in 2011. The moves provides additional exhibition space, enhanced conference facilities and improved services for those attending or visiting the event including fast track registration.
Counter Terror Expo 2011 is already a near sell out with around 500 of the world's leading solutions providers expected to attend.

Counter Terror Expo 2011 will be held 19-20 April.

The bi-annual event attracts tens of thousands of visitors, from five continents, assembling here to learn about the latest trends in defense and security.

The event hosted 1,210 exhibitors, with over 800 were international, from 52 countries.

The global economic crisis and industries conglomeration has made its mark on the defense market. As of March 2010 the exhibitor's list includes 710 international and 335 domestic companies, commercial and government. In total, more than 1,070 exhibitors are planning to participate, representing about 10% drop from the 2008 all-time peak. The organizers expect the list to increase as the deadline draws to a close.

In total, 335 French defense companies and organizations are expected to participate (not including media and event organizers). The three leading NATO members will lead the international participation, with Germany (112 trade exhibitors), the USA (111) and the UK (71). Israel will be the largest non-NATO exhibitor, with 52 companies exhibiting; the Israeli national pavilion is expected to be the largest pavilion ever established at an international defense show, hosting 23 exhibitors.

Three European nonaligned countries will muster one of the largest segments at the show - 77 exhibits, including Austria (29), Sweden (25) and Switzerland (23), underlining the significance of arms industries among their economies. The organizers also expect a large Russian exhibit, to be managed by state operated defense export monopoly Rosoboronexport. Smaller participation is expected by developing countries from the Balkans, including Slovenia, Croatia and Bulgaria, even Serbia will send one exhibitor. Four will come from Greece and nine from Turkey.

In addition to the large exhibition hall and large outdoor exhibit hosting over 1,500 defense systems on static display, the adjacent 50,000 M2 proving grounds and obstacle course, is where these systems will be demonstrating in live action - combat vehicles, combat support and combat service support equipment negotiating obstacles under simulated live conditions. Adjacent group displays will also highlight specific themes covering command posts, medical facilities, field deployed, maintenance and field repair shops.

This year's exhibition highlights several 'technology clusters', covering unmanned systems, associated with conferences organized by the Unmanned Vehicles Systems International association and operational medicine, associated with the international conference on operational medicine, organized by the French armed forces. The unmanned systems group display was first launched in 2008 and is expected to be even bigger this year, featuring live demonstrations of robotic vehicles performing certain tasks such as manipulation, indoor exploration, surveillance, checkpoint activities and even indoor flight by mini and micro rotary-wing drones.

The event wil co-host the UVS Forum, organized by UVS International, this annual global gathering of developers, manufacturers and users of unmanned system covers the entire range of applications of unmanned systems, for miliary, security, commercial, forrestery, and other applications. This year UVS Forum decided to join Eurosatory for a 5-day round of conferences.
