Saudi Arabian Military Industries (SAMI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Public Investment Fund (PIF), is all set for its largest participation yet in the inaugural edition of the World Defense Show (WDS) 2022. The expo is scheduled to be held under the patronage of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman, and organized by the General Authority for Military Industries (GAMI) during March 6-9 at a purpose-built venue in the Saudi capital Riyadh. As the strategic partner of the state-of-the-art defense and security show, SAMI will leverage its sprawling pavilion – the largest at the show with outdoor and indoor areas spanning more than 3,000 square meters – to unveil new products developed within the Kingdom by Saudi engineers. The show will see major announcements of SAMI's partnerships with a group of military authorities and multinational organizations aiming at defense industry localization and technology transfer. The SAMI pavilion will also witness the signing of several strategic agreements, in addition to the announcement of joint ventures that have now entered into force, which will contribute to realizing the objectives of the Saudi Vision 2030 plan. SAMI-owned and affiliated companies exhibiting at the four-day show will display their latest defense and security equipment and cutting-edge technologies across the company's five business divisions, namely Aerospace, Land, Sea, Advanced Electronics, and Defense Systems. WDS, the much-anticipated global defense and security exhibition, is organized as part of GAMI's leading role in the growth and development across the domains of land, sea, air, space, and information security. — SPA
