B & A / MENA LEGAL's Security and Defence Practice Group has attended the 2019 Abu Dhabi International Defence Exhibition & Conference, or IDEX, which is the largest arms and defence technology sales exhibition in the Middle East.  The event also hosted the Naval Defense Exhibition and Conference of 2019, or NAVDEX.

IDEX attracts high-ranking international visitors and exhibitors in the defence sectors.  These include representatives from throughout the GCC region, the EU, the US, China, Russia, as well as just about every other industrialised country around the world.  Participants included local industry leaders, such as EDIC (the Emirates Defense Industries Company), but also well-known global players, such as Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and Harris Corporation of the US, BAE Systems of the UK, and Germany's Rheinmetall Group, to name a few.  The armed forces of the UAE, as well as those of its allies in the GCC region and beyond had a notable presence.

In addition to the exhibition, the hosts of IDEX/NAVDEX, the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre in association with the UAE Ministry of Defense and UAE Armed Forces put on an impressive live display of firepower and tactical skill in its Opening Ceremony, which was capped by a momentous aerobatics by the UAE’s Air Force. 

B & A / MENA LEGAL’s attorneys had the chance to meet with a wide range of international governmental and defence contractor representatives and private companies, some of which are existing clients.  It was also a great opportunity to extend our network of contacts and explore new business opportunities.
