NAVDEX 2025 was a groundbreaking success, uniting global naval defence leaders, cutting-edge technologies, and key decision-makers under one roof. As the largest and most influential edition to date, it provided an unmatched platform for showcasing advanced maritime security solutions, live-action naval demonstrations, and strategic collaborations. With a record-breaking number of international delegations, exhibitors, and naval vessels on display, NAVDEX reaffirmed its position as the premier event for naval defence and maritime security.
Building on this success, we now look forward to NAVDEX 2027, taking place from 21-25 January 2027 at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi. As the maritime security landscape evolves, NAVDEX 2027 will once again serve as a global hub for industry leaders, defence organizations, and cutting-edge technology providers.
