Israel is a high potential target market for defense and security and ISDEF has positioned itself as a leading international defence, highlighting the country’s security technologies to foreign visitors and introducing international solutions to the lucrative Israeli market.

Despite global budgetary restraints and economic uncertainty, the need for defence and security is constant.  This has led to an increase in the number of cooperation agreements and joint ventures between local and foreign defence and security companies. Israel is one of the leading countries to use this joint venture commercial logic, which has become a vital condition to guarantee continued defence industry profitability. This has lead to the creation of established ties of joint production and R&D with companies from many countries.
