IDEX — International Defence Exhibition & Conference

IDEX 2027 will take place from January 25 to 29 at the ADNEC Abu Dhabi Centre, with NAVDEX for the naval component. This 17th biennial edition covers the land, air, sea, and CBRNE sectors. In 2025, the exhibition gathered 1,565 exhibitors and brands from 65 countries across 181,000 m², welcoming 206,000 visitors.

In the UAE, the most important business happens in closed-door meetings. Official delegations follow one protocol visit after another, and discussions regarding offsets and technology transfers require utmost discretion. A successful IDEX stand therefore combines a clear technological showcase visible from the aisle, a well-calibrated reception for VIPs, and meeting rooms that are truly soundproofed.

EXPACE designs and manufactures in France, then manages freight, customs clearance, and on-site assembly with its own teams. We delivered the Arquus stand with its immersive military decor in Abu Dhabi, as well as the Hornet stand featuring discrete discussion rooms. Our expertise in export trade shows incorporates the specific regulations of the ADNEC venue.
