The 16th edition of Milipol Qatar, a leading international event dedicated to homeland security and civil defence in the Middle East, ended on a high note, following three days of activities at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center (DECC), which brought together  delegations, security agencies and industry from across the Gulf, the wider Middle East and beyond.

It was organised by the Ministry of Interior of the State of Qatar in partnership with international exhibition organiser Comexposium.

According to the organisers, 96 deals worth QR820 million ($220 million) were signed at the region’s key homeland security event.  

At the closing press conference, Major General Nasser bin Fahad Al Thani, Chairman of the Milipol Qatar Committee, said the expo brought together more than 270 local and international exhibitors and welcomed over 16,000 visitors, up 10 per cent over the previous edition. 

He stressed the importance of collaboration among security institutions, the private sector and technology providers, as well as stronger international co-operation in addressing evolving security challenges, many of which are shared across the region. 

The next edition will be held from October 31 to November 2, 2028.
