ADNEC Group will oversee the UAE Pavilion at the Defence & Security 2025 exhibition, scheduled to take place in Bangkok, Thailand, from 10–13 November 2025.
The pavilion will feature a select group of leading national companies and institutions operating within the defence and security sectors.
Organised by Capital Events, the events management subsidiary of ADNEC Group, the UAE Pavilion aims to showcase the nation’s advanced defence and technological capabilities while bolstering the UAE’s participation in major global defence exhibitions.
The presence of the UAE Pavilion at international defence events is the result of strong collaboration between ADNEC Group and various public and private sector partners.
Together, these entities contribute to enhancing the competitiveness of the national defence industry, expanding the global reach of local products, supporting innovation and knowledge transfer, and strengthening international cooperation and partnerships, further solidifying the UAE’s status as a global leader in defence, security, and advanced technology.
Participating under the UAE Pavilion umbrella are several prominent national companies in the defence and technology fields, including EDGE Group, Calidus, BHE Land Systems, and Al Jundi magazine.
This presence complements the major defence and security exhibitions organised by ADNEC Group, such as the International Defence Exhibition and Naval Defence & Maritime Security Exhibition (IDEX and NAVDEX), the Unmanned Systems Exhibition and Conference (UMEX), the Simulation and Training Exhibition (SIMTEX), and the International Exhibition for National Security and Resilience (ISNR).
In partnership with the Ministry of Defence, ADNEC Group plays a central role in advancing the national defence industry by hosting and managing major international defence events, significantly elevating the UAE’s global standing in the sector.
The Group also supports national companies in establishing strategic partnerships with top international firms, facilitating knowledge transfer and defence technology localisation, and helping drive the country’s transition toward an innovation- and knowledge-based economy.
This exhibition marks the first stop in a series of global tours for the UAE Pavilion, bringing together the nation’s foremost advanced defence companies. The participation underscores the UAE’s commitment to expanding its international footprint in the defence sector and reinforcing its role as a regional and international hub for advanced technologies.
Defense & Security in Bangkok is one of the largest and most influential defence and security industry events in the Asia-Pacific region. It brings together decision-makers, experts, and industry leaders from across the world to showcase cutting-edge defence technologies and systems, and to explore opportunities for collaboration and knowledge exchange in innovation and advanced technology.
In 2026, ADNEC Group will continue to organise and manage the UAE Pavilion at several major international events, including the World Defence Show in Riyadh, Defence Services Asia in Kuala Lumpur, SAHA Expo in Istanbul, Egypt Airshow in El Alamein, SOFEX in Jordan, China Airshow in China, Marrakech Airshow in Morocco, and the Bahrain International Airshow in Bahrain.
