The IDEX 2025 trade fair is already the 31st edition of this globally one of the most important events in the defense and security industry. The importance of the IDEX fair is evidenced by the number of exhibitors and visitors - for example, in 2023, over 1,350 exhibitors from 65 countries had their stands at the fair in 41 pavilions and on exhibition areas covering an area of 165,000 m2, with the number of visitors exceeding 130,000.
The fair will be hosted, as in previous years, by Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE.
