Global fight against terrorism continues with GSA 2009
Homeland security has been on the top of government agendas and budgets for the past few years, especially after the September 11 attacks, where the world witnessed the tremendous impact of the terrorist attacks and also the extent and possibility of such strikes globally. Industry experts are expecting homeland security expenditure to reach a record of US$1.1 trillion by 2015, a target which will not be compromised by the recent economic crunch.
Countries must and will continue to stay vigilant in difficult economic times, and the budget for homeland security cannot be greatly reduced. According to Singapore Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Home Affairs Mr. Wong Kan Seng, ”We should never think that we have arrived and that Singapore is ready for any emergency. This is because preparedness is not an end-state, it is always ‘work in progress’.”
Leading the Homeland Security scene in the region is Global Security Asia 2009 (GSA 2009), Asia-Pacific's largest and most comprehensive homeland security and counter terrorism conference and exhibition. The 3-day event will showcase cutting-edge technology from multi-governmental agencies, and invite international government representatives and industry experts to share their thoughts on the evolving threats in Homeland Security.
Join us for a press conference where we will discuss the global issues surrounding homeland security, imminent threats faced in Asia, and share the latest technologies from our key exhibitors.
