Doha: With just days to go for the seventh Doha International Maritime Defence Exhibition and Conference (DIMDEX 2022), Dukhan Bank, Silver Sponsor of the eagerly awaited upcoming edition, is gearing up to contribute to the joint effort in making the event a monumental success.
Hosted and organised by Qatar Armed Forces, the biennial event will take place from March 21-23 under the theme ‘Connecting the World’s Maritime Defence and Security Community.’
Besides offering a global platform for exhibitors and a plethora of collaboration opportunities for international and local companies, DIMDEX 2022 will also bring together high-ranking military officials, industry leaders, thought leaders, and other doyens of the maritime defence and security industry for three action-packed days featuring commercial partnerships as well as knowledge exchange at the highest levels between industry and government.
Staff Brigadier (Sea) Abdulbaqi Saleh Al Ansari, Chairman of DIMDEX, said, “Dukhan Bank and DIMDEX share the common goal of propelling the country’s overall development and helping it achieve the avowed goals underlined in Qatar National Vision 2030.
"The continued success of DIMDEX hinges greatly on the support it receives from key national organisations such as Dukhan Bank. I am confident that the mutually beneficial partnership will steer us towards yet another epoch-making edition.”
“Dukhan Bank is greatly pleased to be the Silver Sponsor at the 7th edition of the Doha International Maritime Defence Exhibition and Conference,” said the bank's spokesperson.
“This sponsorship offers our bank the unique opportunity to support our nation in order to enhance maritime security and stability, which is integral to our national economy and country. We’re proud to join them as partners as, together, we seek out new horizons and attain bigger milestones geared towards achieving Qatar National Vision 2030.”
Dukhan Bank, the largest Shariah-compliant bank in the country, operates a wide-spread network of branches and has a customer base of over 130,000 customers.
Powered by strong infrastructure, technology-led solutions, and highly skilled personnel, the bank offers a range of financial services and is firmly entrenched as one of the leaders in the Qatari market.
Dukhan Bank’s association with DIMDEX 2022 as Silver Sponsor and the increase in the number of domestic companies involved in the event, either as a sponsor or as an exhibitor, highlights the success that local companies have had in previous editions of DIMDEX.
Agreements worth over $32bn, many of them involving domestic companies, have been signed across the past editions, with the previous edition alone accounting for 35 partnerships, including 27 agreements signed at the event itself.
In addition to commercial deals and other tangible benefits such as collaborations with international companies, the biennial event has also helped to accelerate the ascent of Qatar’s indigenous defence industry onto the global stage.
