The International Defence Exhibition (IDEX) has successfully established itself as one of the largest defence exhibitions in the world. IDEX has now become a global gateway to showcase the latest international developments in innovative weaponry and defensive armory, and plays a pivotal role in strengthening relations with government departments and armed forces, not only in the Middle East, but across the world.

Since the inaugural exhibition in 1993, international trust and presence in the number of exhibitors and visitors has continued to expand. To maintain the momentum garnered from the international community, IDEX has continued to expand the overall exhibition space. The size of the exhibition halls, conferences and outdoor space has increased to accommodate the regional and international companies wishing to display the latest technology and military weaponry for the land, air and the sea.

Since it's unveil to the world in 1993, IDEX has adopted a continuous approach to maintain a professional and successful exhibition. These long standing principals are as follows:

1- Absolute and Unrestricted Compliance with Support of Regional Leaders: IDEX Exhibition falls under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. His Highness' guidance and loyalty towards the exhibition has assisted in modernizing the UAE Armed Forces. IDEX also incorporates auspicious interest from his Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, who views the exhibition as a landmark "platform to develop our Nation's armies and technical expertise for the defence industry, as well as a global forum for cooperation and the exchange of vital experiences." His Highness General Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, is devoted to the IDEX Exhibition as a reflection of the cultural renaissance of the United Arab Emirates. HH will be present during the course of IDEX, holding meetings with representatives from international companies, alongside dignitaries and leaders of many of the nation's participating in the exhibition.

2. Cooperation by the UAE Armed Forces: The involvement of the UAE Armed Forces has achieved a positive impact on the overall success of the IDEX Exhibition. The Nation's Armed Forces are heavily committed to the event, offering guidance in the organizing and management leading up to and throughout the event. The Armed Forces are also devoted to the Abu Dhabi Exhibition Center (ADNEC) to ensure success is achieved across the board at IDEX to maintain its position as the world's leading joint defence exhibition. Furthermore, the cooperation seen from the Armed Forces is a strategic general command to instil the Armed Forces across vital sectors operating in the United Arab Emirates and to be at the forefront of the knowledge and thinking in local commanders, officers and other business leaders.

3. The Cumulative Professional Experience from all Participants: Vital to achieve a resoundingly successful exhibition, and the purpose of its mandate, the IDEX Exhibition has continued to grow and advance ahead of the twelfth edition, in 2015. The reason behind this great success is the organization around each exhibition that help contribute further to the entire success of IDEX 2015. Also, the importance of having solid cooperation between the event organizers and Cupid Media, a company that has introduced in 2015 a brand new mobile phone application.

The sophisticated smartphone application is a one-stop shop and digital platform for visitors to stay informed about every detail of the event. Elsewhere, delegates are able to view detailed exhibition information and request meetings in real-time to get the most out of their time on-site at the Abu Dhabi Exhibition Center. Every user will also be able to explore the three-dimensional (3D) video tour of the event and virtual map of the show floors, updates and background information about this year's exhibitors, as well as reviews of company products and services.

4. The Advanced Developments enjoyed by the United Arab Emirates: As an increasing number of defence and military companies continue to be attracted to the IDEX Exhibition, the profound success achieved and international critical acclaim seen can be attributed to the upmost confidence in the United Arab Emirates. The Nation has continued to advance its internal infrastructure, deploying projects that match those of developed countries, in particular across the energy, transport, airports, maritime ports, international aviation space, national railway projects and (metro), roads and bridges, as well as other integrated infrastructure projects. Collectively, the progress and innovation in these sectors, has provided IDEX and other exhibitions, with a solid footing to continue forward in the United Arab Emirates.

5. A climate of security and stability is embedded in the United Arab Emirates: The IDEX Exhibition has consolidated its position as the world's leading defence event platform, which continuously attracts international companies to the stage, due to a variety of factors. One crucial key to its success has been the state of security and stability from the country upon which it operates, proving that the United Arab Emirates is an oasis of security and safety, not only in the Middle East region, but in the world.
