The UAE pavilion at Eurosatory 2026 continues to serve as a leading platform for strengthening international partnerships for UAE national entities, having received 3,125 visitors on the third day of the exhibition and hosting 92 meetings between participating UAE entities and international defence companies and delegations, reinforcing the UAE's standing as a trusted partner in the global defence ecosystem.
The UAE national pavilion, supported by the Ministry of Defence and the Tawazun Council for Defence Enablement and organised by ADNEC Group, one of the Mawdن companies, serves as a unified platform showcasing national defence capabilities by bringing together leading UAE entities and companies active in the defence sector under one roof to engage with global industry partners and explore new cooperation opportunities.
On the third day, EDGE Group held 19 meetings, while Resource Industries held 14 meetings, and Emirates Cables and Interconnect organised 12 meetings and sessions with representatives of participating delegations.
The collaboration between national companies participating in Eurosatory and international defence entities reflects the UAE's commitment to building long-term global strategic partnerships.
In the same context, ADNEC Group, which is participating in the exhibition to promote national specialised events in the defence and security sector, held 47 meetings at both the UAE pavilion and its own pavilion. The meetings addressed upcoming editions of the International Defence Exhibition and Conference IDEX 2027, the Naval Defence and Maritime Security Exhibition NAVDEX, the Unmanned Systems Exhibition UMEX 2029, the Simulation and Training Exhibition SIMTEX, and the International Exhibition for National Security and Resilience ISNR 2029.
The UAE pavilion witnessed the signing of a number of memoranda of understanding. EDGE Group and Spain's EM&E Group, a leader in defence and security innovation and technologies, signed an agreement to establish a joint venture in the UAE.
EDGE Group also signed a memorandum of understanding with British company Thermoteknix, which specialises in developing thermal infrared imaging technologies, night-vision systems, and augmented reality-enhanced vision systems for the defence and security sectors.
The Group additionally signed a memorandum of understanding with American company Ursa Major, which specialises in the aerospace and defence industries and manufactures rocket engines and propulsion systems for hypersonic technologies.
The UAE national pavilion received a number of sector leaders and military delegations, including a visit by retired Major General Charles Beaudouin, Chief Executive Officer of COGES Events, the organiser of Eurosatory 2026. Their visits and review of the national products and solutions displayed by UAE defence industries reflect the growing level of quality and competitiveness that the national defence sector enjoys on the global stage.
