He added that the pavilion’s participation is part of the EDCC strategy to enhance the capabilities of the member companies by highlighting their participation in major international exhibitions, fostering cooperation and partnerships.

Ferit Bonfil, CEO of Key Technologies, expressed eagerness to participate in Eurosatory 2024 under the UAE National Pavilion, considering it one of the world’s leading exhibitions in defence industries. He stressed the importance of exploring the latest advancements and gaining insight into the sector’s prospects and developments amid rapid technological changes.
