DSEI will take place for the first time at Makuhari Messe, 18-20 November 2019.

The exhibition and associated conferences will run biennially thereafter, and in keeping with the themes of DSEI in London, DSEI Japan will cover all four domains of land, naval, aviation and security.

Clarion Defence & Security’s managing director Tim Porter said: “We have been working with Asari-san and his team at Crisis Intelligence for many years now, and have been tremendously impressed with the relationships they have built up right across the Japanese defence industry, especially with ATLA, JMOD and other official bodies.”

“I’m delighted to have the opportunity to work CI in Japan to create a brand new show in Tokyo – DSEI Japan 2019,” Porter added

Mr Asari, CEO of Crisis Intelligence said: “We have been honoured to support ATLA and Japanese industry in their participation at very many international defence events across the world over the past six years, and it is a logical progression of that activity to now be working with Clarion to create a tri-service event in Japan.“
