BALT-MILITARY-EXPO Baltic Military Fair

Mission Statement and Agenda

Balt-Military-Expo has been organised since 1998, with ten editions completed to date. The 11th edition will take place in 2010.

The aim of the BALT-MILITARY-EXPO Baltic Military Fair is to present cutting-edge weaponry, equipment and accessories based on the latest technological solutions to serve defence, security, safety and emergency rescue at sea and on the coast, to the Polish Navy and other types of forces, and to the services of the Ministry of Interior and Administration.  

BME focuses on the military issues of naval defence and security, the defence and security of sea borders, and rescue issues. BME is dedicated to the Polish Navy, Special Operations Command, the Inspectorate for Armed Forces Support, Border Guard, Police and State Fire Service.

BALT-MILITARY-EXPO also plays a significant role as a platform for meetings and the exchange of views between defence technology providers and its users: the executive staff and officer corps of the Polish Army, as well as the services subject to Poland’s Ministry of Interior and Administration.

BME is accompanied by equipment presentations and rescue demonstrations, which have not only a professional but also an educational dimension through promoting among the public the work of the services responsible for safety and security, popularising defence issues and knowledge about Poland’s membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.

BME is organised in partnership with the Polish Army, the Ministry of the Economy, the services subject to the Ministry of Interior and Administration and the Polish Chamber of National Defence Manufacturers.

Balt-Military-Expo is an event of established international renown and the only trade show in Poland dedicated to the technology and equipment needs of the Polish Navy. BME’s exhibitors include such international corporations as: BAE SYSTEMS, IMTECH MARINE, BLOHM + VOSS, KONGSBERG, L-3 COMMUNICATIONS ELAC NAUTIK, RAYTHEON, SAAB, THALES and the entire Polish military industry, including: BUMAR, CMT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, MORATEX, PZL POLISH AVIATION FACTORY and P.I.T. TELECOMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH INSTITUTE.

BME’s guests have included successive Ministers of National Defence, Commanders-in-Chief of the Polish Navy, Ministry of National Defence department directors, officers of the General Staff, representatives of the Ministry of Interior and Administration, the BBN Bureau of National Security, the Border Guard HQ, the Police HQ and the State Fire Service HQ. Every year BME is visited by a delegation of military attachés accredited in Poland and by a large contingent of guests from abroad, who represent military formations and arms producers.

The 11^th BALT-MILITARY-EXPO Baltic Military Fair, June 23-25, 2010, will take place at the Gdańsk International Fair Co. (MTG S.A.) Exhibition Centre, 5 Beniowskiego St., Gdańsk, Poland.

The opening ceremony will be held on June 23, 2010 at 12:00 noon.

As in previous years BME will provide an abundance of accompanying events: shows, presentations and conferences. In partnership with the Polish Navy, we will continue a conference series on maritime security and military technologies. As organisers, we will hold presentations at the exhibition venue, i.e. military shows to illustrate one of the aspects of our forces’ participation in peace and stability missions. For the general public, we will organise shows to present Polish Army special units, counter-terrorist units and rescue services in action.
