The 12th International Defense Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS 2024) is scheduled to take place from November 19 to 22 at the Karachi Expo Center.
Organized by the Defense Export Promotion Organization (DEPO) under the Ministry of Defense Production, the event will spotlight Pakistan’s defense capabilities on the global stage.
IDEAS 2024 will showcase a range of locally produced defense technologies alongside exhibitions from leading international defense companies. The event is expected to attract defense exhibitors, delegates, security experts, and policymakers from across the world.
Pakistan’s defense sector has made notable advancements in recent years, achieving significant progress in manufacturing military equipment, marking a major step toward self-sufficiency in defense production.
This exhibition will also serve as a key platform for international defense partners to display their products, with attendance expected from high-ranking officials, diplomats, business leaders, and media personnel.
Given the importance of defense production and exports, IDEAS 2024 holds significant relevance to Pakistan’s strategic and economic goals, reinforcing the country’s role in the global defense landscape and fostering international collaboration in this vital sector.
