Events offer fantastic opportunities for exhibitors to show off their products and services, and Defence & Procurement, Research & Technology, Exportability (DPRTE) 2014 aims to offer a unique platform for them to do so. The event will take place on 8 October 2014 at the Motorpoint Arena, Cardiff and, with the support of organisations such as Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S), DPRTE 2014 hopes to provide industry with the chance to showcase their products and services directly to key decision makers within the defence acquisition supply chain.
