Demining operations are still taking place in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. We are pleased to be bringing our inaugural Demining and EOD Seminar to Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina to review the current situation and the plan for the next few years to finally make Croatia a mine free country. Many IGOs and NGOs are working tirelessly to clear the minefields in the region and there is a key importance on international cooperation in making the world mine clear by 2025.

Technology in demining is also evolving with many new solutions being adopted to clear mines to help lower casualties. Solutions such as robotics and drones are now being used to assist with clearing mine sites especially in areas where it is difficult to detect mines. Our Demining and EOD Seminar will bring together leading officials who are working on mine clearance in Croatia as well as across the Balkans. You will hear in-depth presentations and case studies from regional Mine Action Centres as well as other international organisations who are supporting local governments to clear the mine fields.

Many European governments are looking at the building stronger defence systems to potential cyber attacks to their critical infrastructure. Many criminals are using new and sophisticated methods to breach cyber defences.

Cyber Intelligence Europe will bring together leading government officials from across Europe to discuss the latest threats being faced in their nation. With the world becoming more digitalised year on year it is imperative that cyber security systems are up to date and secure from breaches. With the increase in smart cities across Europe and the developments in 5G networks cyber criminals can gain access to major city infrastructures remotely whilst hiding their identity within the darknet.

As well as discussing the latest cyber threats and challenges to government departments the event will also focus on the importance of threat intelligence, new cybercrime trends, digital programs, cyber laws and regulations, European policies and strategies and international cooperation.

Cyber Intelligence Europe will be taking place in Rome, Italy on the 14^th – 16^th September 2021. During the event you will have the opportunity to meet with international senior government officials as well as key officials from the Italian government and armed forces.

IBMATA are pleased to announce that we will be hosting our Border Management & Technologies Summit Asia conference and exhibition in Singapore on 28th – 30th September 2021.

Since our event in New Delhi in 2018, IBMATA has been working with WTTC and other partners to develop a vision for digital borders and seamless travel to take the hassle out of travelling without compromising security. Following workshops in Istanbul and Ottawa in 2019 – and a discussion panel with Border leaders at the International Summit on Borders in Washington DC in June 2019 – we have produced a White Paper setting out a roadmap for the border of the future which we are sharing with border agencies worldwide.

One of the key features of the paper is digital identities and the ever-increasing use of biometrics in immigration and border control solutions.

Singapore is a very important travel hub for many travellers, with Changi Airport being one of the most popular stopover airports as well as many cruise liners using Singapore port as a starting point before cruises around South-East Asia. Singapore Straits plays a major role in customs clearance with many ships stopping to gain clearance before continuing on their journey.

The Border Management & Technologies Summit Asia conference and exhibition will bring together leading government officials from across central Asia, South-East Asia, Australia and the Middle East to discuss the border security challenges faced in the region and in their respective nations.

Singapore is a unique country that has one of the busiest land borders in the world between Singapore and Malaysia. Changi Airport is one of the most popular stopover airports in South-East Asia and due to Singapore’s geographic location Singapore Straits plays an important role in customs clearance.

The event will be chaired by the IBMATA Chairman, Mr Tony Smith, the former Director-General of UK Border Force.

If you are interested in speaking, sponsoring or exhibiting at the event please contact Martyn Hill: martyn.hill@ibmata.org or +44 7792 473246.

A new era of ballistic missiles is imminent with a rapid race to develop the latest hypersonic weapons systems. There is also a pivotal issue to develop hypersonic defence systems to protect against the potential threat.

NATO members are working to make sure the right capabilities are in place if the research becomes a reality with hypersonic weapons. With the hypersonic era looking set to become a reality it has shown shortcomings in missile defence systems that are not capable to detect and protect from a hypersonic weapon.

During the 2-day Hypersonic Defense conference and exhibition we will look at the current ballistic missile defence capabilities of leading nations and the importance to fast track modernisation of the current systems. The event will also review the future of missile defence in a hypersonic era and how agencies are researching a new type of weapon and the challenges of simulation tests with hypersonic vehicles.
