Join the 6th edition of NCT Middle East in Abu Dhabi: World’s leading CBRNe, C-IED, EOD event series! NCT Middle East will once again be the must attend networking and knowledge exchange platform for high level regional and international stakeholders in the CBRNe community.
Over the past six years, the CBRNe threat has been rising in the Middle East with the use of chemical weapons and IEDs. In addition, there are indications of terrorist organizations developing their own chemical weapon production capabilities to use these weapons in other regions. If there is anything we can learn from the pattern of conflict we face, it is that Middle Eastern states must be prepared to prevent, counter and mitigate non-conventional attacks against their military and civilian population.
Over the duration of two days, NCT Middle East will provide the platform to discuss how military, Special Forces and first responders can prepare for worst-case scenarios and will thereby provide attending delegations with in-depth knowledge in all fields of CBRN defense – from preventive measures to specific response. During the event, state-of-the-art technologies will be showcased by pioneering industries giving insights into the latest technologies available on the market to counter Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs).
Don’t miss this opportunity and join us for the world’s first class CBRNe event in Abu Dhabi!
The CBRNe threat has been rising in the Middle East with the continued use of chemical weapons (including chlorine, sarin, mustard gas and phosgene) in the conflicts in Syria and Iraq for the past three years. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and the Joint Investigative Mission (JIM) continue to look into each reported incident to identify the perpetrators and work towards eliminating the use of chemical weapons. Collapsing health care systems due to the armed conflicts have increased the risk of outbreaks of infectious diseases. Refugee flows may transfer diseases to neighboring countries and other regions. These developments underline the need for adaptive response mechanisms, effective bio-surveillance systems, new vaccines and better treatment methods. The intensified air campaign by the international coalition against Daesh is causing environmental effects and creating long-term health effects for the civilian population. The use of advanced weaponry and prohibited weapons (including phosphorus sulfur, cluster bombs) is contributing to an increasing UXO problem and new health care problems.
Building on the successful previous events in Abu Dhabi, Amman, and Kuwait City, NCT CBRNe Middle East will discuss this enduring threat to regional and international security. If there is anything we can learn from the pattern of conflict we face, it is that Middle Eastern states must be prepared to prevent, counter and mitigate non-conventional attacks against their polities and people. High-level representatives, experts and decision-makers will therefore discuss how military, special forces and first responders can prepare for worst-case scenarios and will thereby provide attending delegations with in-depth knowledge in all fields of CBRNe defense – from preventive measures to specific responses. IB Consultancy will assemble leading international experts and regional decision-makers and first responders to discuss this imminent threat, best practices and effective approaches in CBRNe detection, civil defense and decontamination.
