The inaugural IDEX Next Gen will witness 34 startups compete for the ‘Best innovative company in defence sector award’ in Abu Dhabi. 34 startups were shortlisted out of the 83 participating at this edition of IDEX and NAVDEX 2023, on Tuesday.
The award has been launched to encourage entrepreneurship and innovation among startups in the defence and military industries sector, and provide them with the opportunity to showcase their advanced solutions, systems, and technologies which play a vital role in the development of defence industries on a global level.
A panel of judges consisting of some of the most prominent international experts will evaluate the startups’ innovations, with the first-place winner being honoured and receiving a commemorative plaque. The winner will also have the opportunity to participate in the next edition of IDEX.
IDEX Next Gen provides a platform for companies to present ideas, products, and work strategies, as well as showcase the latest defence innovations, solutions, and technologies to some of the most important leaders, decision-makers, official delegations, and major international companies in the defence sector.
