“Make in India” makeover for MAST Indo-Asia 2018!

The full support of both Nirmala Sitharaman, Defence Minister and Ashok Kumar Gupta Takes, Secretary, Defence Production, has formally been granted to MAST Indo-Asia’s organisers (FICCI, Indian Maritime Foundation, and MAST Communications), issuing letters of support/request full participation by exhibitors/authors (international and domestic) wishing to take part in upcoming naval defence procurement programmes in India.

Both Nirmala Sitharaman and Ashok Kumar Gupta Takes will take part in plenary sessions relating to international collaborations, heavily based on the Make in India principal (well known to any organisation doing/prospecting defence business in India), and they will visit those major sponsors/exhibitors with platforms, systems, and technologies competing for future Indian Navy contracts.

Similarly endorsed, Admiral Sunil Lanba, Chief of Navy Staff, Indian Navy (and other key naval personnel), senior level representatives from India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation and the Indian Maritime Foundation, will send conference delegates and visitors daily to meet exhibitors/authors, and meet their counterpart global operators, technologists, and procurement experts.

Prospective delegates to November’s conference in Delhi should sign up now to benefit from the pre-show discount. Limited exhibition space and sponsorships are available to late-comers!
