UAE Pavilion To Showcase National Defence Capabilities At Bangkok Defence & Security Exhibition 2025

ADNEC Group is set to manage the UAE Pavilion at the Defence & Security 2025 exhibition in Bangkok, Thailand, from 10th to 13th November 2025. This pavilion will feature top national companies and institutions specialising in defence and security. Organised by Capital Events, ADNEC's events management arm, the pavilion aims to showcase the UAE's advanced defence capabilities and strengthen its presence at international exhibitions.

The UAE Pavilion's participation in global defence exhibitions results from collaboration between ADNEC Group and various public and private stakeholders. This partnership enhances the competitiveness of national defence industries, expands local products' reach to new markets, supports innovation, and fosters international cooperation. It also strengthens the UAE’s position as a leading destination for defence, security, and advanced technology.

Under the UAE Pavilion, prominent national companies like EDGE Group, Calidus, BHE Land Systems, and Al Jundi magazine will participate. Additionally, ADNEC Group organises major exhibitions such as IDEX and NAVDEX, UMEX, SIMTEX, and ISNR. These events significantly boost the UAE’s status as a central hub for defence industries.

The Defence & Security exhibition in Bangkok is among Asia-Pacific's largest specialised events for defence industries. It gathers decision-makers and industry leaders globally to display cutting-edge technologies and discuss cooperation opportunities in innovation. The event serves as a platform for knowledge exchange in advanced technology sectors.

In 2026, ADNEC Group plans to organise the UAE Pavilion at several key international exhibitions. These include 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 Bahrain International Airshow.

This event marks the beginning of a series of international tours for the UAE Pavilion. It brings together leading advanced defence companies from the country. This participation underscores the UAE’s commitment to enhancing its global presence in the defence industry while consolidating its role as a regional centre for advanced technologies.

Strategic Partnerships and Innovation

ADNEC Group collaborates with the Ministry of Defence to support national defence industries' growth by organising major global exhibitions. These efforts have significantly bolstered the UAE’s position as a leading centre in this sector. The group also facilitates strategic partnerships between national companies and major international firms for knowledge transfer and localisation of defence technology.

The initiative aligns with the nation’s goal of fostering an innovation- and knowledge-based economy. By enabling these partnerships, ADNEC Group plays a crucial role in advancing technological capabilities within the UAE's defence sector.
