Ayşe EVERS Publisher & Editor in Chief Held biennially at Tüyap, Istanbul, IDEF, the landmark event in the region, offers a unique platform for the global and Turkish defence and aerospace industry to demonstrate its latest technologies, share knowledge, forge partnerships, connect global governments, armed forces, industry thought leaders, and the defence and aerospace supply chain. Leading industry players, government and military chiefs gather here biennially to contribute to dialogues, exchange ideas and seek solutions and strategies to advance the interests of the global aerospace and defence sector. Under the auspices of the Presidency of the Republic of Turkey IDEF ‘19 organized by TÜYAP on April 30th – May 3rd, 2019 in collaboration with the Ministry of National Defence and the Turkish Armed Forces Foundation (TAFF), will showcase the latest defence developments featuring technology trends and the vital role of these technologies in advancing the defence sector and its relevant industries. IDEF ‘17 welcomed 65,782 visitors from 116 countries and witnessed the participation of 820 local, regional and international companies and 133 delegations from 67 countries. The events also paved way for the signing of strategic deals. Throughout the event, where intergovernmental and G2G negotiations and negotiations between various levels of delegations and companies were conducted, a total of 2,240 appointment negotiations, stand visits and nearly 50 signing ceremonies were held. IDEF ‘19 hosts the world’s leading high-level procurement authorities in the field of the defence industry. Itis expected that IDEF ‘19 will reach the highest number of official delegations at this year’s event. I wish that the IDEF ‘19 Exhibition will be very successful for all parties concerned.
