The first batch of naval vessels arrived at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre Waterfront (Adnec Marina) to take part in NAVDEX 2023, which is witnessing more than 200 per cent surge in number of exhibitors.
The Naval Defence Exhibition and Conference (NAVDEX 2023) and the International Defense Exhibition and Conference (IDEX 2023) will be held at Adnec from February 20 to 24. Under the patronage of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the event aims to bring together leading industry players, decision-makers, and military experts to showcase the latest innovations and technologies in the defence and security sectors.
Commodore Rashid Al-Muhaisni, Chairman of the Organising Committee for NAVDEX 2023, noted a “significant growth” in the number of exhibiting companies, and a wide display of the latest innovative technologies in the maritime defence industry.
The first batch comprised seven naval vessels of different sizes and uses, coming from a range of countries. The vessels were officially welcomed as they entered the Mussafah Water Canal, all the way to Adnec Marina, which is located opposite of the Adnec.
The Adnec is the only centre in the Middle East that organises indoor, outdoor and marine exhibitions.
