HE Saeed bin Khadem Al Mansoori, Director of IDEX, stressed the importance of the UAE pavilion in the Defence and Security Equipment International exhibition (DSEI 2017), which is the largest international exhibition in the defense and security sector. It strengthens the UAE’s position in the European and international markets and attracts investors and major international companies. It is also an important station in the marketing program for IDEX and NAVDEX 2019 exhibitions, the Unmanned Systems Exhibition and Conference (UMEX 2018), the Simulation & Training Exhibition and Conference and Conference (SIMTEX) from 25 to 27 February 2018, and all exhibitions organized by Abu Dhabi Exhibition and Exhibition Center ADNEC.

ADNEC will be participating in the Modeling, Training and Simulation Exhibition,  in Orlando, Florida, in November 2017.
 
 Al Mansoori pointed out that many exhibitors visited at DSEI, especially those that attend IDEX and NAVDEX exhibitions. A number of meetings were held with the personalities and directors of major military companies specialized in defense and security equipment. Discussions were focused on how to communicate in order to participate in the upcoming exhibitions. During their participation in DSEI, they met with many media partners. He emphasized that these meetings help to exchange expertise and strengthen relations with major global destinations. He pointed out that through ADNEC presence in such large exhibitions, we are looking for the state-of-the-art defense technology products, as well as for new companies that did not participate with us in the past to give them an idea about the exhibitions we organize and how to participate and provide them with publications on those exhibitions. We are keen in each edition of IDEX and NAVDEX to allocate a pavilion for the countries that participate for the first time.
 
 He said that the gathering of UAE companies specialized in military industries and the provision of security solutions, under one roof in the UAE pavilion at DSEI is a good initiative. He hopes that it will be circulated in the coming military exhibitions because it enjoys great media attention. The pavilion was visited by senior military figures and major defense and security companies. This will allow these companies to reach the various countries of the world and to show their competitiveness and the quality of their products compared to the products of major countries with a long history in the fields of military industries. He pointed out that the efficiency and development of the UAE products have prompted several international companies to enter into contracts and agreements with them, which is a new international testimony to the strength of the UAE industry, based on national cadres.
 
He added that the UAE pavilion at DSEI provides a unique opportunity for national companies to explore opportunities for cooperation and partnership with leading international companies. He pointed out that the participation of these national players to highlight the progress of the national military companies in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and the UAE and the vision of the UAE to strengthen its position on Global Industry Map.
 
Al Mansoori stressed that the competition of major international companies to reserve spaces in the military exhibitions organized by the UAE is a clear indication of the development of the exhibition industry in the UAE, as it has become a model to be followed globally.
