Tawazun Economic Council has hosted its 7th annual Defence Contractors Council, DCC, meeting in London, featuring successful partnerships and potential opportunities and projects.

The meeting was attended by representatives from international defence companies, key industry players and other Tawazun partners.

Commenting on the DCC meeting proceedings, Tareq Abdul Raheem Al Hosani, CEO of Tawazun Economic Council, said, "The Defense Contractors Council is an ideal forum to bring together industry experts to discuss the latest trends and developments within the industry."

"The defence sector in the UAE holds vast opportunities for growth and expansion with a potential for lucrative returns and long-term strategic partnerships. The DCC is one of many means by which Tawazun strives to enable the industry and create a specialised environment for partnerships to thrive in," he added.

The meeting centred its focus on emerging defence technologies and the rising demand in the offsets sector.
