The further development of the Turkish defense industry in recent years has enabled the platforms, systems and capabilities of our companies in several areas to be demanded in the foreign market. In order to maintain this demand permanent, the international cooperation activities we will carry out at IDEF will also be quite beneficial.

IDEF, which we will organize for the 15th time this year, is among the most prestigious defense industry fairs in the world. High-level government and private sector officials from all over the world participate in IDEF. 

IDEF 2021, which will be held under the auspices of the Presidency of the Republic of Turkey, will host platform, system and material manufacturers in the defense, security, maritime, aerospace and aerospace industries.

At IDEF participant companies will be provided with every means available to promote their potential and capabilities, our companies will have the opportunity to exhibit their platforms and systems, developed indigenously and nationally.

We consider that IDEF 2021 will be a significant platform where we will have opportunity to review our ongoing activities with the countries in close cooperation in the defense industry.

I wish for IDEF 2021 to be carried out successfully on behalf of our country and wish all participants a beneficial fair.

The President of  Defense Industries
