From Vietnam Airport Gates: Israeli Security Tech Reaches the Far East

Israeli newspaper Globes highlighted the significant expansion of Israeli defense and security technology, benefiting from growing investments in Far Eastern countries.

The paper confirmed in its report that investment growth in this region favors Israeli technology, while subsidiaries of major Israeli defense institutions contribute to boosting final profits for parent companies.

The article detailed the entry of Israeli technology into Vietnam through the victory of "Code Valley" - part of the "Speed Valley" group listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange - in a tender to design the physical security system for the new "Gia Binh" International Airport currently being built in Bac Ninh province, near the capital Hanoi.

This deal, which will be executed through "Liacom," a subsidiary of the same group, is considered a "milestone" in Israel's presence in the Far East region, as it marks the first time an Israeli company has been selected to lead the design of a physical security system for a new international airport in Vietnam, a country considered a strategic customer for the Israeli defense industry sector in the region.

"Code Valley," founded by Israeli businesswoman Tali Shim-Tov in 2010, is an Israeli technology group specializing in software engineering, artificial intelligence, cloud solutions, cybersecurity, and digital transformation.

The group provides consulting, design, development, and implementation services for technical systems to organizations and companies in Israel and around the world.

In Vietnam, "Code Valley" will act as the main professional consultant in the field of physical security; taking responsibility for formulating the overall security concept, assessing threats and risks, designing systems, defining technical and operational requirements, in addition to supervising bidding processes for selecting security system providers.

According to the plan, the new airport will include commercial flight operations, cargo movement, and reception of international delegations.

It is expected that its capacity will reach approximately 30 million passengers and 1.6 million tons of cargo annually by 2030, with projections of passenger numbers rising to about 50 million annually by 2050.

According to Vietnamese government data, total planned investments for constructing the airport - including all its facilities and infrastructure - are estimated at approximately $7.5 billion.

Tali Shim-Tov, CEO of "Code Valley," told the newspaper: "The challenges in this project are not limited to identifying threats only, but extend to designing a system capable of integrating diverse technological platforms, analyzing huge amounts of data in real-time, and enabling rapid response, all without affecting the smooth flow of millions of travelers."
