Largest UAE Pavilion at SNSR Highlights ‘Made in UAE’ Brands
With UAE putting up the biggest national pavilion, the Emirates Defense Companies Council (EDCC) organised a stellar show at the Saudi National Security and Risk Prevention Expo (SNSR) held in Riyadh during 4-6 November.
Held under the patronage of HRH Prince Abdul Aziz bin Saud bin Nayef bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud, Interior Minister of Saudi Arabia and supported by Tawazun Economic Council, the UAE pavilion put together by the EDCC featured 25 leading Emirati companies, specialised in defence and national security-related products and services.
Sultan Abdulla Al Samahi, Acting General Manager of the EDCC, said the UAE pavilion was the largest of all 19 national pavilions taking part in the Expo, including those of Saudi Arabia, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom, the United States, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Hungary, Kuwait, South Korea, China, Cyprus, South Africa, Belgium, and the Czech Republic.
“This is UAE Pavilion’s biggest participation in international events, with a booked space of 1,200 square metres, said Al Samahi.

Al Samahi went on to say that the companies taking part through the UAE Pavilion, sought to explore opportunities for cooperation with their Saudi counterparts.
