International
In Doha, DIMDEX is the leading exhibition for naval defence and maritime security in the Middle East. The next edition has been announced for 2028 at the Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC).
DIMDEX, the crossroads of naval defence
Vessels, submarines, combat systems, maritime drones, port security, coastal surveillance, naval maintenance. The 2026 edition brought together more than 200 exhibitors and 32,000 visitors. Organised by the Qatar Armed Forces in even-numbered years, the show enjoys strong institutional support and a highly qualified audience.
