Dear friends and colleagues,

I am delighted to welcome you to Tomorrow Forces, an international event platform that combines a broad, interdisciplinary specialist programme of ongoing interactions in the physical and digital worlds, including technology exhibits focused on trends, innovations and technologies in the defence and security sector.

In the complex scenario of rapid and intense transformations that we are experiencing, we have rethought the traditional concept of organising events. We brought together the events that we had been holding for over ten years: the Conference on Military Systems and Technology (CSTM); Brazil Cyber Defence; the International Seminar on Jungle Operations (SIOpSelva); the AmazonLog; the Amazon Security and Defence Exhibition (ASDX); and the Brazil Armoured Vehicles Summit (BRAVS), and we structure them together with new events on the Tomorrow Forces platform, in an ecosystem thinking, with a modular vision interconnected between different parties, to inspire global engagement and shape solutions to the challenges that define these unprecedented times we live in.

Over the years, the events we have hosted have served as crucial meeting points for a diverse range of authorities and professionals, including members of the armed forces and public safety, industry, government officials, academics, researchers, industry experts and enthusiasts, promoting an intense exchange of knowledge and driving advances in defence and security capabilities. Today, we come together to build on this legacy to take the Tomorrow Forces platform to new heights.

Tomorrow Forces represent the epitome of collaboration, bringing together diverse stakeholders from multiple sectors to collectively inspire and shape the future of defence and security, providing insights and solutions that will define the future of the Brazilian defence and security industry. Through these collaborative efforts, we can address the complex challenges facing our world today while ensuring the security of our nation and our citizens.

I want you to fully enjoy Tomorrow Forces events to gain a lot of innovative information and valuable new contacts, business opportunities and general professional enrichment by actively engaging with attendees, exploring the exhibition booths, and participating in thought-provoking sessions and interactive workshops. Let’s embrace the spirit of collaboration and innovation as we work together to drive progress and shape a safer, more secure future.

We will leave an indelible mark on the defence and security industry and propel the Tomorrow Forces platform to even greater heights.
