IDEX

About

IDEX brings together global defence leaders, cutting-edge innovations, and strategic collaborations under one roof. Join the world's leading defence companies

IDEX is back in Abu Dhabi, and it's once again bringing the global defence industry together in the United Arab Emirates. The exhibition connects manufacturers, government buyers and technology providers across electronics, manufacturing, security, aerospace and defence. Leading defence companies come to the show to present new systems, hold procurement meetings and build the strategic partnerships that shape international security programmes. Exhibitors throughout the aerospace and defence supply chain get direct access to decision-makers from the region and beyond. Visitors, meanwhile, can compare platforms, components and security solutions side by side. For companies targeting the Middle East defence market, IDEX offers a central meeting point where electronics, manufacturing and security suppliers engage with military and aerospace buyers. Whether you supply components, systems or full platforms, the exhibition puts your products in front of an international audience that is actively sourcing defence and security technology.
