Our Events
IDEX was launched on February 14th, 1993 with an active participation of more than 350 companies form 24 countries and had been instantly identified as an international success due to the active participation from various military delegations. NAVDEX was launched alongside IDEX on 2011. To maintain the momentum garnered from the international community, IDEX and NAVDEX has continued to expand the overall exhibition space. The size of the exhibition halls, conferences and outdoor space has increased to accommodate the regional and international companies wishing to display the latest technology and military weaponry for the land, air and the sea.
The International Defence Exhibition and Conference
The Naval Defence and Maritime Security Exhibition
The defence exhibitions (IDEX, NAVDEX significantly contribute to achieving ADNEC’s strategic goals and positively impact Abu Dhabi’s economic growth through bringing together key representatives of international defence industry, offering then a world-class level of services, delivering high-calibre defence conferences and exhibitions and finally exceeding their expectations.
From the success we have experienced in organising IDEX the defence exhibition, we took a strategic step by expanding and growing the defence exhibitions business and reduce the dependency on a single event by launching UMEX and SimTEX in the opposite year to IDEX and NAVDEX. UMEX and SimTEX diversified its portfolio by including more of the civilian and commercial unmanned applications rather than focusing on the defence sector. The event includes the sectors of artificial inelegance, Robotics, Unmanned systems, simulation and training
