The 32nd Targi Kielce International Defense Industry Exhibition has attracted exhibitors and visitors from all over the world for years. MSPO has always been the platform for exchanging experiences, presenting the latest technologies and establishing international business contacts. This year's exhibition will not be an exception. This trade show offers an excellent opportunity for defense companies to present their latest products and services and develop strategic partnerships. The impressive exhibition area - 30,000 square meters will showcase the companies' offer. The Ministry of National Defense issued invitations to 38 countries. It is very important, that the MSPO is held under the auspices of the President of the Republic of Poland, Mr. Andrzej Duda. At the same time the Polish Armaments Group is been the Strategic Partner of the International Defense Industry Exhibition making the event more efficient and full of sense.
A record-breaking MSPO is on the horizon. russia's aggression against Ukraine keeps causing tensions throughout Europe. Defense spending needs to be increased - it is clear to all of us, i.e. the general public, economy and the political milieus. Our government allocates the record-breaking 4% of GDP for this purpose. – says Andrzej Mochoń PhD.- The need for equipment and supplies will increase, translating into great interest in the MSPO. I believe that this interest will not decrease even if the war in Ukraine ends, as tensions between superpowers and political blocs will continue. A decade of increased defense spending lies ahead of us - adds the President of the Targi Kielce Management Board.
