WHAT ARE THE DSEI JAPAN THEMES

OVERARCHING THEME

The core theme for DSEI Japan 2025 is "Strengthening Indo-Pacific Security Through Advanced Technology". This theme aligns with the Japanese government’s objectives and underpins the entire event, guiding the content across the show.

Amidst rising geopolitical tensions and evolving threats, advanced technologies, ranging from artificial intelligence and autonomous systems to cybersecurity and space-based capabilities, are crucial for addressing security challenges and transforming the operational landscape.

All conference discussions in the Keynote Theatre will centre around this main theme, facilitating vital knowledge sharing and exploring potential issues that may arise.

For DSEI Japan 2025 we would have three sub-themes focusing on addressing topics and challenges for our target audience who is considered byer from both military and industry.
