 IDEX 2017:
DEFENCE TECHNOLOGY FOR THE FUTURE

In 2017, the attention of the world’s defence and security industry will be on Abu
Dhabi, as it stages the 13th edition of the International Defence Exhibition and
Conference (IDEX).

IDEX 2017 has the prestigious honour to be held under the patronage of His
Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, and is organised
by IDEX LLC (an ADNEC Group Company), in association with the UAE Armed
Forces GHQ.

IDEX 2017 will feature the 4th edition of NAVDEX, the maritime security show that
was first launched during IDEX 2011, and quickly evolved to become the largest
naval defence and maritime security exhibition in the region.

IDEX and NAVDEX demonstrate the latest technology across land, sea and air
sectors of defence. It is a unique platform to establish and strengthen relationships
with government departments, businesses and armed forces and in 2015 attracted
1,200 exhibiting companies and over 100,000 attendees.

IDEX is a very, very important show and technologies together in the beginning and
exhibition for us. It is actually a reflection of showcase our capabilities, we wouldn’t be here
our industrial defence capabilities.This growth today to talk about being the biggest defence
has been immense, but you know what - if we industry company in the Middle East and we want
hadn’t had a platform like IDEX to bring all those to show it here in IDEX.

 We have been here from the beginning, for about 10 shows. We are
represented highly here and we have always supported IDEX very strongly.
IDEX attracts governments and defence companies from all over the world,
which makes it a fantastic place to come and exchange ideas.

James Clements
Spokesperson for UK Trade and Investment

We have had a great experience. IDEX is by far the most productive show
in the Middle East and we look forward to it every year. The turnout was
better than expected. We are very pleased with our visit and look forward to
the next edition.

Jim Thomson
Senior Director, General Atomics Aeronautical

US companies benefit tremendously from the willingness of GCC

countries to interact and that is the primary reason why they return here
every edition. IDEX provides opportunities to build and grow relationships.
These relationships seem to be maturing with each successive edition.

Lt Gen Roger Thompson (Retired)

Vice President, The Association of the United States Army

It is really nice to be here, it feels like we are amongst friends and not only
partners. This friendship is an important thing for future times, and to keep in
contact to solve common problems regarding crises around us.

Michael Knop
Director of the Federation of German Security and Defence Industries
