Higher Organizing Committee for IDEX and NAVDEX 2023 Kick-off First Meeting

The Higher Organizing Committee for the 16th edition of International Defence Exhibition (IDEX 2023), and the 7th edition of the Naval Defence & Maritime Security Exhibition (NAVDEX 2023), met recently to discuss the preparations for holding an exceptional edition of the events. The upcoming editions will mark 30 years since the launch of IDEX and 12 years since the launch of NAVDEX, one of the biggest events of their kind in the region and the world. The events are being held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, and will take place between February 20-24, 2023, at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre.
 
Organised by ADNEC Group in collaboration with the UAE Ministry of Defence, the events provide an international platform to showcase the latest international defence innovations and technologies, along with the most advanced technology and equipment developed by defence industries across the world. Additionally, the exhibitions offer the opportunity to establish strategic partnerships with the leading companies in the defence and military industries from around the world. 
 
His Excellency Staff Major General Pilot Faris Khalaf Al Mazrouei, Chairman of the Higher Organizing Committee for IDEX and NAVDEX, said: “Thanks to the directives of our wise leadership, the UAE has been able to build an advanced system for the national defence industries. The upcoming edition represents an exceptional opportunity to demonstrate the Emirate’s capability to host one of the world’s most strategic and vital defence exhibitions. Since its inception 30 years ago, the event has succeeded in contributing to the development of national competencies and industries by providing a platform to promote global expertise and experiences.”
 
His Excellency Major General Dr. Mubarak Saeed Ghafan Al Jabri, Deputy Chairman of the Committee, highlighted: “The Ministry of Defence has confirmed that supporting the defence industry is a top priority as a vital industry for strengthening and supporting the UAE national economy. Hosting important exhibitions such as IDEX and NAVDEX have contributed to driving Abu Dhabi’s position as a global destination for the defence and military industries. Over the past 30 years, IDEX and NAVDEX have witnessed remarkable development in the volume of deals and the number of exhibiting companies seeking to showcase the best innovations and learn about the latest trends and developments .”
 
Humaid Matar Al Dhaheri, Managing Director and Group CEO of ADNEC Group, added: “The next edition of IDEX and NAVDEX will be exceptional on all levels, as it is a success story that has progressed significantly in the past three decades. Hosting this important event aligns with ADNEC’s strategy to cement Abu Dhabi’s standing as a capital for business tourism, defining the road we will follow during the next 50 years in accordance with the aspirations of our wise leadership for supporting and developing these vital and promising sectors.”
 
Supporting National Economy
The IDEX and NAVDEX exhibitions constitute a mainstay in the efforts of the ADNEC Group to support diversity and achieve a positive impact on the national economy, whether by providing opportunities that contribute to the development of sectors and the work of various national companies or by organising and hosting major events that attract visitors from different countries from around the world. 
 
Over the past 30 years, IDEX and NAVDEX have played an important role in the development of the local defence industries sector, in addition to their important role in consolidating the position of the capital Abu Dhabi, as a destination for major events and a destination for companies to enhance their presence in the region’s markets.
 
The upcoming edition is expected to witness a high-level global turnout by leaders, decision-makers, ministers, senior officials, experts, and specialists from all over the world. The previous edition of the two exhibitions in 2021 was a resounding success, as it received more than 62,000 visitors and more than 900 local, regional, and international companies from 59 countries, in addition to hosting 35 national pavilions.
