THE CIVIL DEFENCE FORUM
The General Directorate of Civil Defence is the only governmental organisation in charge of approving and licencing companies and products in Saudi Arabia. Without such an approval, it is not possible to operate. The Civil Defence Forum is a great opportunity to network with the policy-makers and main buyers of the leading industries of Saudi Arabia.
