MSPO Under the auspices of President Bronisław Komorowski

President of the Republic of Poland has granted his honorary patronage to the International Defence Industry Exhibition MSPO 2013. The twenty first expo edition is to be held from 2nd to 5th September 2013.

MSPO is a truly exceptional exhibition among all the events to be found in the exhibitions calendar as it is one of the Targi Kielce flagships. Not only is the Kielce’s defence industry show a display of cutting-edge military technologies and armaments but also it is a perfect chance to establish international business relations.

It has become a long established tradition of MSPO to host the National Exhibition which presents military potentials of particular countries. The 21st MSPO edition will have the honour to host the National Exhibition of Turkey. This exhibition symbolises effective military and technical cooperation between Poland and Turkey. Since 2004 Targi Kielce has been the showcase for the defence potentials of Germany, France, Israel, the USA, Sweden, the V4 Group Countries, Great Britain and Italy.

Last year’s 20th edition of MSPO was exceptional with regards to a whole array of aspects. The defence industry show hosted representatives of exotic countries such as Brunei, Israel, Saudi Arabia or Mexico. The Italian Minister of Defence Giampaolo Di Paola’s visit added splendour to the exhibition. The event was also honoured by the presence of Polish Minister of National Defence Tomasz Siemoniak, the head of Poland’s Foreign Affair Ministry Radosław Sikorski and Stanisław Kozieja – the Head of the National Security Bureau.
