The deal was signed late last week as the two companies took part in the Special Operations Forces Exhibition & Conference (SOFEX), in Amman, Jordan. The sponsorship endorses the fact that the UAE is among the most active global participants in the defence and security industry and IDEX attracts the global community to Abu Dhabi.
“For over twenty years, IDEX has been locked in a pursuit of global excellence. Our partnership with Harris only further enhances our offering to provide a global defence event to all exhibitors and visitors”, said IDEX CEO, Saleh Al Marzooqi. “We’re the largest defence exhibition in the MENA region, and together with Harris we’ll create an optimum business environment for solutions providers across the land, air and naval defence sectors.”
Steve Marschilok, regional managing director for Harris in Abu Dhabi" said: IDEX provides Harris with valuable opportunities to interact with customers from the Middle East and around the world.”
IDEX is the MENA region’s largest (133,000” of event space) and most well-attended joint defence industry event. It is a truly international event attracting over 1100 exhibitors from over 50 countries and features over 35 country pavilions. Over 90 per cent of available exhibition space has been reserved by exhibitors for IDEX 2015 which will take place on February 22nd – 26th.
