Introduction to Abu Dhabi Defence Exhibition UAEAbu Dhabi Defence Exhibition (IDEX) is one of the largest and most influential defence exhibitions in the world. Founded in 1993, it is organized by UAE ARMED FORCES. As the equipment on display is tailored to the defence characteristics of the Middle East, it has increasingly attracted the attention of governments, military forces and weapons manufacturers around the world. It provides insights into the current development level of the international military industry, promotes exchanges with counterparts from other countries, and broadens the vision and ideas of China’s technological R&D.

Abu Dhabi Defence Exhibition (IDEX) is a premier defence exhibition and a global platform for showcasing cutting-edge defence technologies and promoting cooperation among international defence entities. With unparalleled influence, IDEX attracts a growing number of decision-makers from the global defence industry, government agencies, armed forces and military personnel.

As a world-leading event in the defence sector, IDEX will provide access to an extensive network of global leaders, policymakers and decision-makers, as well as the opportunity to connect with thousands of major contractors, original equipment manufacturers and international delegations. IDEX will include the International Defence Conference (IDC), IDEX and NAVDEX Start Zone, high-level roundtable discussions, Innovation Route and IDEX Talks. IDEX and NAVDEX are important hubs for the global defence and security community.

Abu Dhabi Defence Exhibition (IDEX) continues to expand in scale and transaction volume, and is known as a "Middle East Business Card" in the defence exhibition industry. At IDEX, visitors can learn about the current development level of the international military industry.

It is not only a grand event in the global defence field, but also an important opportunity for all countries to seek common development and build a shared future in the field of peace and security.
