UMEX and SimTEX 2024 to Ignite the Spark of Innovation
The sixth edition of the Unmanned Systems Exhibition (UMEX) and Simulation and Training Exhibition (SimTEX), scheduled to take place from January 23-25, 2024 in Abu Dhabi under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hazza bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Ruler of Abu Dhabi, is gearing up to be the biggest showcase of unmanned systems and simulation technology in the Middle East.
The event will include a specific SimTEX zone to reflect the growth and investment in the UAE and GCC countries.
Supported by UAE Armed Forces GHQ and attended by regional government delegations, agencies, industry, military and civilian authorities, the event will be the ideal business platform to promote unmanned systems technology and capability to a dedicated and focused industry audience.
Preparatory Meeting
The Higher Organising Committee recently convened its first meeting in preparation for the launch of UMEX and SimTEX, along with their accompanying conference.
Major General Dr. Mubarak Saeed bin Ghafan Al Jabri, Chairman of the Higher Organising Committee, and Humaid Matar Al Dhaheri, Managing Director and CEO of ADNEC Group, led the meeting with the presence of subcommittee members. Participants deliberated on the preparations aimed at guaranteeing the success of the planned largest edition.
ADNEC Group is organising the exhibitions and the conference that accompanies them in cooperation with the UAE Ministry of Defence, with the aim of providing an ideal platform for stakeholders in the unmanned systems, simulation, training, and robotics sectors, including manufacturers, operators, and end-users.
These events will be held during a time when the sector is achieving major annual growth regionally and globally, with increasing demand for unmanned systems in commercial, defence, environmental, civil, and humanitarian uses and applications.
Ideal Platform
Major General Al Jabri said: “The reliance on unmanned systems’ applications, simulation, and training is increasing significantly with the expansion of their uses in both the civil and security fields. This global event provides an ideal platform to learn about a variety of innovative systems and products, and benefit from global experts. It contributes to supporting the development of national capabilities in various vital sectors, such as education, infrastructure, health, and others, cementing the UAE’s leading position among the prestigious countries in the world.”
Humaid Matar Al Dhaheri, Managing Director and CEO of ADNEC Group, observed: “These events reflect our commitment to supporting the growth and economic diversification of Abu Dhabi and the UAE. This also comes in line with the vision of our leadership for the next 50 years to build a competitive economy based on advanced technologies that enhance the position of Abu Dhabi and the UAE as a global centre for innovation.”
“UMEX and SimTEX have made significant contributions to GDP growth and economic diversification by bolstering national industries in crucial sectors and enhancing their competitiveness globally and regionally. The events have played a key role in developing national capabilities in advanced and innovative technologies, serving as a platform for fostering effective partnerships, knowledge transfer, and insights into leading technologies and innovations within these vital sectors,” Al Dhaheri added.
During the meeting, the Committee discussed strategies to enhance the events’ leading position and organise a successful edition befitting the UAE’s position at the regional and international levels.
Exceptional Edition
In 2022, UMEX & SimTEX concluded an exceptional edition with historic deals exceeding AED 2 billion.
On the last day of UMEX & SimTEX 2022, the Ministry of Defence unveiled six new deals, collectively valued at AED 455.495 million. This marked a remarkable surge of over 266 per cent compared to the 2020 edition. In total, the Ministry of Defence exceeded AED 2 billion in deals and contracts since the launch of the fifth edition, demonstrating an impressive increase of approximately 177 per cent from the 2020 fourth edition.
It was the largest edition of this event in terms of exhibition area and exhibitors, with 134 exhibitors from 26 countries from around the world.
The final days of the exhibitions saw the launch of the live demonstrations at Tilal Swaihan area, which served as a unique platform for showcasing aerial and grounded unmanned systems, Artificial Intelligence and robotics technology, and simulation and training systems, with the 15 demonstrations unveiling 22 advanced technologies and innovations.
