Yavaşça said, “More than fifty percent of the participant companies of the Eurosatory International Defense and Security Exhibition are represented by the CEOs and Presidents. The importance attached to security and defense is increasing every day as a result of the rapidly changing political conjuncture and the growing conflict atmosphere of the world. As a consequence, initially for establishing a peaceful environment and securing their land and citizens, the countries are requiring defense systems with advanced technology. This results in the further increase of the cooperation among the countries as well. In this respect, we believe that the Eurosatory and similar events will enable many opportunities for entrepreneurs like us toward rebuilding the security of the world”. Yavaşçalar Chairman of the Board Emrah Yavaşça stated that during the exhibition, they would also be attending meetings and workshop activities organized by the Think Tanks in addition to displaying their products and capabilities.
