On 24, 25, 26 and 27 April 2025, ARPA had the privilege of participating in the 8th edition of the International Exhibition of Technology for Defence and Natural Disaster Prevention (SITDEF), held at the Peruvian Army Headquarters in Lima.
SITDEF has established itself as one of the most important events in Latin America in the field of defence, security and emergency management. Organised by the Peruvian Ministry of Defence and the Peruvian Armed Forces, this biennial meeting brings together companies, government institutions, security forces and international organisations with the aim of learning about and exchanging the latest technologies applied to defence and natural disaster response.
An international showcase for innovation
The fair brought together official delegations from more than 30 countries and over 400 exhibiting companies from around the world. In this context, ARPA had the opportunity to present its comprehensive solutions in logistics, mobile camps, field hospitals, water treatment units, and autonomous energy systems, all designed to operate in humanitarian emergencies, military deployments, or rapid response to natural disasters.
Our participation was part of the Spanish pavilion, where we shared space with other leading companies in the Spanish defence sector, reinforcing our commitment to international collaboration and technological exchange.
A space to strengthen relationships
During the four-day event, ARPA representatives held meetings with military and civil authorities in the region, as well as with potential partners and strategic clients. These conversations allowed us to present our capabilities, explore opportunities for collaboration, and gain a deeper understanding of the specific needs of Latin American countries in terms of temporary infrastructure, emergency response, and logistics solutions adapted to complex environments.
In addition, the event served as an excellent platform to learn first-hand about current trends in the sector, identify common challenges, and reinforce ARPA's position as an international leader in self-sufficient and sustainable mobile solutions.
Our commitment to Latin America
ARPA's presence at SITDEF 2025 reinforces our commitment to continue expanding our presence in Latin America, a region with which we share historical and cultural ties and a firm commitment to contributing to capacity building in defence and emergency management.
We would like to thank everyone who visited our stand, showed interest in our solutions, and shared their vision and experience with us. We are leaving this fair not only with new contacts, but also with valuable ideas to continue innovating.
