With the support of the Ministry of National Defense (MoND), the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Industry and Technology, the Ministry of Commerce and the Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB), the second of SAHA EXPO 2021 Defense and Aerospace Industry Fair, which was organized by SAHA Istanbul Defense and Aerospace Cluster was held on November 10-13, 2021 in Istanbul. SAHA has attracted attention as Turkey`s largest and fastest growing industry cluster (27 members in March 2015, 674 members in November 2021). It was physically held in the 2nd, 5th, 6th and 7th Halls spanning a total area of 40,000 sqm at the Istanbul Exhibition Center.
