Last month, Pinnacle Solutions, an Akima Company attended the World Defense Show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The World Defense Show features defense companies from every sector and attracts key defense figures, government officials, decision-makers, and thought leaders across all levels of the supply chain. Some 100,000 visitors came from around the globe to discover the new technologies and advancements of 750 exhibitors from 75 countries. Pinnacle Solutions co-exhibited a booth with GDC Middle East that shared our many innovative aviation- and defense-related capabilities. "Exhibiting at this renowned showcase put Pinnacle Solutions on the map for so many new international business opportunities," says Tina Tucker, president of Pinnacle Solutions. "We know our innovative approaches and technologies can help advance global missions — and now potential customers are realizing it, too."
Check out the this photo from our three Akima employees — Mamie Karmun, Savannah Garrett, and Elizabeth Johnson — who traveled on behalf of Akima to the NANA region in Northwest Alaska. Last week, the group visited Kiana, one of the region's 11 villages. Village visits included speaking to local students to deliver sessions on Akima and opportunities for shareholders.
