Israeli companies are looking for ways to enjoy the huge budgets the UAE is going to invest in homeland security
The UAE will double its budget for homeland security from US$5.5 billion to US$10 billion in the next decade, according to a U.S. study on security and safety resources.
The results were published in the 2013-2014 annual report of the U.S. Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration, the state news agency Wam reported.
Spending on airport security will reach $57.7 million by 2015, the study estimated. The results of the survey will be discussed at the 2014 International Exhibition for Security and National Resilience, which will run from April 1-3 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre.
iHLS – Israel Homeland Security
Three major topics will be the focus of the meeting: homeland security and risk prevention, critical infrastructure security and information security.
Maj Gen Staff Dr Obeid Al Kutbi, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Abu Dhabi Police and chairman of the exhibition’s organizing committee, said homeland security was a top priority for the UAE, in view of the country’s socio-economic development.
“The UAE investments in security constantly reflect our quest to overcome the challenges and achieve security and safety for our community and our visitors,” he was quoted by The National.
