The Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company (ADNEC) has hosted a Pavilion at Dubai Air Show (8-12 November) to promote its aerospace events.
The venue was set up to promote key international defence, aviation and aerospace events; the 13th International Defence Exhibition & Conference (IDEX 2017) and Naval Defence and Maritime Security Exhibition (NAVDEX 2017), set to take place in Abu Dhabi in February 2017, the second Unmanned Systems Exhibition and Conference (UMEX 2016) scheduled for March 2016, as well as the pilot edition of the Simulation Exhibition and Conference to be held under the umbrella of UMEX Abu Dhabi.
Humaid Matar Al Dhaheri, acting group CEO of ADNEC, said: “We realise the growing significance of IDEX, NAVDEX, UMEX and Stimulation Exhibition and Conference as definitive security and aviation events worldwide. All these events will create a significant platform for global defence, aviation and aerospace industry's key players to do business and showcase their latest technologies and systems.
“Through our participation in Dubai Airshow, we seek to engage with the major exhibitors and decision makers in global defence and aviation industries and invite them to be part of IDEX 2017, NAVDEX 2017, UMEX 2016 as well as the inaugural Simulation Exhibition and Conference.”
“We are delighted at the high footfall registered by our pavilion at Dubai airshow. The airshow has provided us with an important opportunity to meet the global aviation and aerospace industry's key players and strengthen relationships with government departments and businesses from around the world.”
Organised by ADNEC, UMEX 2016, which includes the first Simulation Exhibition and Conference under its umbrella, is the only exhibition of its kind in the region dedicated to unmanned systems and technologies used in air, land and marine operations.
The event is expected to draw the participation of nearly 100 local and global defence system manufacturers, specialised in unmanned systems and technologies used in air, land and marine operations.
