Professor Satoshi Morimoto (former Defense Minister, current Policy Adviser to Defense Minister), again chaired his MAST Asia committee in Tokyo last week to finalise (most of) the third biennial MAST Asia programme.

The result: The highest level of plenary sessions to date, three/four parallel technical sessions, and Japan’s only established defense trade-show. You will get the definitive view of military operations, policies and technologies for the region’s sea, air, space, and cyber domains.

Major contributors to the unique conference/trade-show/VIP programme will come from Australia, France, Germany, Greece, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, Turkey, UK, Ukraine, USA, and Vietnam.

VIP/hosted buyers and other participants will extend international participation to over 40 countries from Asia-Pacifc/ASEAN, Americas, Gulf States and Europe.

Highlights of the resulting programme come from the contributors/participants from:

  • Australia – Department of Defense, Royal Australian Airforce, Royal Australian Navy, Sage International
  • Denmark
  • France – French Navy
  • Malaysia
  • Netherlands – Ministry of Defence, Netherlands Defense Academy, RMIT University, Radboud University, TNO

  • United States – International Programs Office, Naval Sea Systems Command, NAVSEA Warfare Centers, ONR Global, Office of Naval Research, Office of the Secretary of Defense, US Airforce, US Joint Forces, US Navy, National Defense University

Of course, many of you want to meet Japan’s leaders and middle management from the authorities/agencies, and as MAST’s proven track record in Japan shows, you will typically meet experts from: ATLA (Acquisition, Technology & Logistics Agency), JADI, JASDF, JAXA, JISS, JMSDF, SJAC, Keidanren, MSO, Ministry of Defense, SAJ, and the most comprehensive participation by – as anyone attending previous editions of MAST in Japan will confirm.

As for MAST Asia sponsors/exhibitors, a new B2B and B2G meeting facilities system will put you face-to-face with these key influencers, like no other event can do.

If you need to meet Japan’s major defence decision makers, MAST is A MUST!
