According to the Emirates News Agency, the fourth edition of EDEX, held under the patronage of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi of Egypt from 1–4 December 2025, provides a platform for UAE national companies to strengthen international ties, expand market reach, and form strategic partnerships at one of the largest defence events in the Middle East and North Africa.

Leading entities present include the Tawazun Council for Defence Enablement, EDGE Group, Calidus, GAL, AMMROC, Al Jundi Magazine, and ADNEC Group.
The Tawazun Council plays a central role in the UAE’s defence sector by strategically aligning procurement with long-term national capability requirements, adhering to value-for-money principles, and advancing industrial localisation. It fosters a resilient defence-industrial base through domestic manufacturing, attracting foreign investment, and integrating UAE entities into global supply chains.
The Council shapes the regulatory environment with sector-specific licensing, standards, and compliance systems, oversees specialised industrial zones, and activates the national research, development, and innovation ecosystem for dual-use technology collaboration.
Participating companies will display their latest innovations and network with global audiences. EDGE Group will exhibit solutions across Precision Guided Munitions, Naval Platforms, Autonomous Air Platforms, Weapons & Munitions, and Secure Communications.
Calidus Holding Group will showcase a fully Emirati-designed and manufactured portfolio across its Aerospace, Land Systems, and Missiles and Defence Systems clusters, featuring highlights like the MATV armoured combat support vehicle with the AlHeda missile launch platform.
Concurrently, ADNEC Group aims to strengthen international ties by promoting upcoming major defence events, including the Unmanned Systems Exhibitions and Conference & Simulation and Training Exhibition, the International Exhibition for National Security and Resilience, and the 2027 edition of the International Defence Exhibition and Naval Defence and Maritime Security Exhibition.
