IDEX 2021 Leads the World to Recovery from COVID-19

Staff Colonel / Yousef Juma Al Haddad Editor in Chief
The great success achieved by the 15th Edition of IDEX and NAVDEX 2021 is not only an international testimony to the UAE’s leadership in the organisation of defence exhibitions, but it also provides a real indicator of the beginning of the world’s recovery from COVID-19 pandemic.
 
This is no doubt a qualitative achievement credited to the UAE, which has been able to restore momentum to major events being organised again.
 
The recently concluded edition of IDEX and NAVDEX has restored confidence in the possibility of rapid recovery from the impact of this pandemic. The volume of international participation whether political and military officials, experts and visitors interested in defence, military technologies and security systems, or attendance by international companies, encouraged world countries to resume these types of events.

They can benefit from the UAE’s pioneering experience in organising the activities and proceedings of this edition that were characterised by careful organisation and innovative procedures. Therefore, it has been an exceptional event by all standards, by which the UAE has shown that it is a world leader in defence exhibition industry on the one hand and is leading a sustainable recovery from COVID-19 on the other.
 
The UAE has taken the first step on the road to global recovery from the Coronavirus pandemic. Through its substantial success in organising IDEX and NAVDEX 2021, it has posted an optimistic message of confidence that the world is regaining its dynamism and vitality. IDEX and NAVDEX are not merely major defence exhibitions, they are a real indicator of the recovery of the various economic sectors, especially the military and technological industries, which are the key mainstay of economy in many countries.

During this edition, new state-of-the-art military equipment and advanced weapons and warfare technologies were showcased. Moreover, strategic partnerships were announced between the different participating entities and major companies in these fields, in addition to big deals in billions of dirhams. These are positive indicators of the return of business and resumption of the various economic activities, which marks the phase of recovery from the Coronavirus pandemic.
 
The marked success of this edition of IDEX and NAVDEX 2021 yields many positive outcomes. First, it reinforces the leading position of the UAE in international exhibition industry.

The precautionary and preventive measures taken to guarantee the safety of participating delegations and all visitors of both exhibitions make IDEX and NAVDEX an exemplary international model of the organisation of exhibitions at times of exceptional circumstances and crises. This would add to them a qualitative and symbolic value among international defence shows.

Second, this edition of the two exhibitions has entrenched the soft power of the UAE and highlighted the civilised aspect of its people. This has made guests and visitors feel they were in their second home country, given the care and attention to the minutest details of their transport and stay. Third, the significant international praises and applause of the current edition reflect the great appreciation for the UAE and its pioneering endeavours in leading the world toward recovery from the repercussions of COVID-19 pandemic. The UAE in particular is at the forefront of countries adopting a thoughtful strategy to manage the recovery phase from the Coronavirus.
