General Information |

Since
its inception the International
Defence Exhibition & Conference
(IDEX) has grown steadily to be
recognised as the premier defence
show in the Middle East, North
Africa region. IDEX continues
to take place at the Abu Dhabi
National Exhibition Centre, Abu
Dhabi, UAE.
Originally
launched on February 14th, 1993,
with the active participation
of more than 350 companies, representing
34 countries, one of the key features
of IDEX’ success has been
the active participation of a
wide range of military delegations.
The
second in the series, in March
1995, saw the participation of
more than 600 companies from 55
countries, with more than 45,000
visitors during the five-day show.
The
third IDEX, in 1997, was honoured
by the visit of H.H. President
Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan
– the late President of
the UAE and Supreme Commander
of the UAE Armed Forces - who
toured the entire exhibition.
IDEX
99 saw further growth, with 848
companies from 41 countries receiving
70 military delegations.
The
fifth IDEX, in 2001, built on
this success, attracting 865 companies
from 43 countries and numerous
delegations led by Heads of State,
Ministers of Defence, Chiefs of
Staff and Heads of Military Procurement
which underlined its unique position
in the region and further enhanced
the status of the UAE as the host
nation.
IDEX
2003, the sixth event, maintained
the show’s reputation as
an important platform for the
announcement of military contracts
and as a reflection of the strategic
importance of the region.
In
2005 IDEX continued the successful
series with the seventh edition.
The event continued to see growth
across the show with substantial
visitor numbers, exhibitors and
delegations participating at the
event.
Consolidation
in the defence industry was mirrored
in exhibitor attendance at IDEX
2007 but the list of international
delegates continued to grow and
contracts worth more than $545m
(Dhs2bn) were announced, including
$380m (Dhs1.4bn) signed by the
UAE Armed Forces.
IDEX
benefits from the fullest support
from the UAE Armed Forces which
has helped it to establish its
position in the international
calendar. IDEX is now, quite simply,
the place to do defence business
in the Middle East.
With
the stunning, expanded ADNEC venue
and the new naval facilities on
site, IDEX 2009 represents an
important chapter in the developing
story of this key international
event where the latest in tri-service
defence technology and innovative
solutions will, again, be unveiled.
