IDEX and NAVDEX 2021 … an exceptional event that caught the world’s attention

Abu Dhabi’s organization of the activities of the 15th edition of‭ “‬IDEX 2021‭” ‬and the sixth edition of‭ “‬NAVDEX 2021‭” ‬on their date this year reflected the great international confidence in the ability of the United Arab Emirates to organize the largest international‭ ‬exhibitions according the most up-to-date and best practices‭, ‬as the UAE‭, ‬despite of the pandemic which storms the world‭, ‬succeeded in organizing an exceptional event in a safe and professional manner that caught the eyes of everyone and dazzled them‭, ‬and‭ ‬successfully launched the recovery phase from the Corona pandemic crisis‭.‬

The two exhibitions were beyond any doubt a true mirror of the comprehensive renaissance in the UAE‭, ‬and the stability it enjoys‭ ‬at all levels‭.‬

The special edition of the two exhibitions this year also established their place among the most important defence exhibitions in the world‭, ‬which showcases the latest systems and innovations in the military sector‭, ‬as the event attracted over a period of‭ ‬5‭ ‬days more than 62‭ ‬thousand visitors from different parts of the world‭, ‬and about 900‭ ‬exhibitors with 1,300‭ ‬companies from more‭ ‬than 60‭ ‬countries‭, ‬and about 110‭ ‬international delegations of decision-makers‭, ‬investors and experts‭.‬

This big event‭, ‬which stunned the world‭, ‬placed the UAE in an advanced position and established its position in supporting the national defence‭                                                                                                                 ‬‭                                                                                                                                ‬‭       ‬industries‭, ‬as the proportion of national companies participating in the two exhibitions constituted about 16‭ ‬percent of‭ ‬the companies participating in them‭, ‬and this matter confirms that the UAE is moving steadily towards strengthening local non-oil industries and it contributes to achieving the goals of‭ “‬UAE Centennial 2071‭” ‬and‭ “‬Abu Dhabi Vision 2030‭”.‬

The astonishing success of IDEX and NAVDEX 2021‭ ‬exhibitions would not have been possible without the great support and patronage‭ ‬of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan‭, ‬President of the UAE‭, ‬may God protect him‭, ‬and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed‭ ‬bin Rashid Al Maktoum‭, ‬UAE Vice President‭, ‬Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan‭, ‬Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces‭. ‬The success of the event is a translation of the‭ ‬experience‭, ‬professionalism and practice of the UAE in organizing international events in various forms and fields‭, ‬and no obstacles can impede it‭, ‬as it has great leaders who do not know the impossible‭. ‬
