To enable industry to take full advantage of the Defexpo, a number of business events prior to and during Defexpo India 2008 have been planned. These business events would enable industry to take advantage of the presence of the end users and the defence companies to engage in business meetings.
Defexpo throws open vast opportunities for Defence Professionals to engage themselves with Indian & Foreign Defence Industry in various capacities. However, it should be done within Govt. Orders and Regulations on the subject, and in full transparency.
