Security companies from 33 countries gathered in Doha this week for Milipol Qatar, displaying drones, robots and AI systems as the country reviews its defences following the Iran war. The three-day exhibition, which ended Thursday, covered equipment for policing, emergency response and industrial safety, along with discussions on cybersecurity and protecting essential services.

Lakatamitis, who grew up in Qatar, said…
