KWESST Micro Systems (KWE) has appointed Bin Hilal Enterprises as its Middle East Representative for the United Arab Emirates.

Bin Hilal represents top-tier defence and security companies in the UAE, including General Dynamics Mission Systems.

The appointment comes after KWESST featured its products at the IDEX defence show in Abu Dhabi in February 2021, receiving many expressions of interest from end-users and prospective industry partners in the UAE and throughout the Gulf Cooperation Council.

David E. Luxton, Executive Chairman of KWESST, commented, 

“We are excited at the interest from the UAE. It is also very encouraging to see the recent announcement that travel restrictions into the UAE have been relaxed, making it feasible to now conduct demonstrations there and pursue a number of opportunities.

The UAE is a leader in advancing its defence industry internally and within the GCC. We therefore look forward to actively pursuing the potential for KWESST’s solutions to this key Middle East market with a proven partner like BHE.”

KWESST develops and commercializes ultra-miniaturized technology applications for the defence and security industries.

KWESST Micro Systems (KWE) is up by 1.98 per cent and is currently trading at $1.03 per share as of 1:33 pm ET.
