The International Maritime Defence Exhibition and Conference (IMDEX Asia) will host the first ever Asian edition of the International Naval Engineering Conference and Exhibition (INEC) in 2013. INEC@IMDEX Asia, held from 14 - 16 May 2013 at Changi Exhibition Centre, Singapore, will gather representatives from navies, commercial and military ship operators, designers and shipbuilders, manufacturers, defence-related organisations and academia, to discuss new developments and challenges faced by the naval engineering industry. Jimmy Lau, Managing Director of Experia Events, said, "Over the years, we have seen naval technology advance by leaps and bounds worldwide, making it important for stakeholders to remain at the forefront of the latest technological innovations”. "As the emphasis of naval power and investment shifts towards the Asia Pacific region, it is timely to ensure that the right forums exist for Asian powers and their partners to discuss how technology and innovation can support the future capabilities that they need," said David Loosley, Chief Executive of the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST).
