We are now on our fourth day at the SAHA 2026 exhibition, and what an incredible experience it has been so far.
The setup phase from Friday through Monday was certainly challenging. The weather conditions were tough, with temperatures around 10–12°C combined with heavy rain and strong winds. Despite this, we had fantastic support from a hardworking team of four people from the exhibition staff who assisted us throughout the setup process. By Monday evening, everything was finally in place and ready for the official opening on Tuesday.
From the very first day, we experienced a strong flow of visitors from the defence and industrial sectors at our stand. In addition, several defence industry companies had already scheduled meetings with us before the exhibition even began. The response to our products and technology has been outstanding. Many companies from Turkey expressed strong interest in partnering with us after seeing our solutions in action. Several visitors were genuinely surprised that products could be inflated, deflated, and deployed this quickly while still offering such impressive payload capacity and versatile operational use.
We are extremely pleased with the attention and feedback we have received, and we believe this exhibition will lead to exciting opportunities for Nordic Deployment. Thousands of professionals from the defence industry have attended the fair so far, and on Saturday the exhibition will also open to the public.
One of the highlights during the exhibition was the testing of our inflatable bridge. We successfully drove a small 1.6-ton remote-controlled tank across it. The vehicle was actually somewhat heavier than the bridge’s demonstration configuration, which was designed for a maximum payload of approximately 950 kg. Nevertheless, the demonstration generated a lot of attention, and many companies were highly impressed by the inflatable bridge technology. However, the most popular product at our stand has undoubtedly been the D-Pad.
We are very proud to be part of this exhibition, and today we are expecting President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to visit the exhibition halls and the various stands. Security measures have been extremely strict ahead of the visit, and we will provide another update later on how the presidential visit went.
