Abu Dhabi, UAE — The United Arab Emirates National Pavilion is set to kick off its participation tomorrow in Eurosatory 2026, Europe’s premier defence and security exhibition, taking place in Paris from 15 to 19 June.

The exhibition will spotlight the latest advancements in cybersecurity, space technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), remote engagement systems, advanced security, crisis management, and industrial resilience.

Supported by the UAE Ministry of Defence (MOD) and the Tawazun Council for Defence Enablement (Tawazun), and organised by ADNEC Group, a Modon company, the pavilion positions the UAE’s national defence sector at the centre of one of the world’s leading industry gatherings, bringing together over 2,100 exhibitors from more than 65 countries.

The Tawazun Council for Defence Enablement is participating at Eurosatory 2026 to broaden international partnerships and strengthen industrial collaboration. With a delegation of senior leaders attending the five-day event, its directorates work across complementary areas including procurement and capability planning, industrial development and local value chains, and innovation and AI to strengthen the UAE's defence industrial base and long-term competitiveness.

His Excellency Shareef Hashim Al Hashmi, Director General, Industry Development of Tawazun Council for Defence Enablement, said: “The global defence and security sector is undergoing rapid transformation that continues to reshape traditional concepts of readiness, capability, and competitiveness. This requires sustained investment in national capabilities and stronger integration between industry, technology, and innovation. Against this backdrop, Tawazun remains committed to expanding cooperation with international partners and seizing opportunities that contribute to building a more advanced and sustainable national defence and industrial ecosystem.”

The pavilion features a group of leading Emirati defence and security firms, including EDGE Group, Resource Industries, and Emirates Cable Corporation Interconnect (ECCI), highlighting the UAE’s advanced defence capabilities and reinforcing its position as a trusted global partner in defence innovation and security cooperation.

Additionally, it provides a strategic platform for national companies to present their advanced solutions and next-generation technologies to global buyers, investors, and strategic partners, extending their reach into key international markets and unlocking high-value export opportunities.

The pavilion also serves as a global hub for high-level engagement and strategic dialogue, bringing together governments, industry pioneers, and strategic partners to collaborate, share expertise, and build impactful partnerships, further reaffirming the UAE's commitment to advancing international cooperation and enhancing global security.
