As the inaugural DSEI Germany, this event provides Australian industry with a unique opportunity to engage with European and international defence stakeholders, including defence ministries, armed forces, procurement authorities, and prime contractors. Participation supports market exploration, relationship building, and access to emerging opportunities across European and allied defence markets.

The International Defence Exhibition and Conference (IDEX) is one of the largest defence exhibitions in the Middle North East and North Africa, demonstrating cutting-edge defence technologies across land and air domains. IDEX is held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, with the full support of the UAE Armed Forces. Happening alongside IDEX, Naval Defence and Maritime Security and Exhibition (NAVDEX) offers a platform to showcase technology and services across naval, maritime and coastal domains. As part of the TDA delegation, companies will receive free space on the custom-built Australia pavilion, providing a platform to showcase and demonstrate your capability face-to-face with the UAE Ministry of Defence, foreign delegations and industry partners. Additionally, delegates will receive services to maximise participation at the show including; pre-event support, market advice and business-to-business matching through Austrades network of business advisers. Important note for companies wishing to promote maritime products and services at IDEX: - TDA will only accept companies wishing to promote maritime products and services in the delegation as Rovers (companies who will not have a pod/desk on the Australia pavilion). - IDEX will be co-located with NAVDEX. - Event organisers have prohibited the display and promotion of maritime products and services in the IDEX halls, where the Australia pavilion will be located. - TDA is not supporting a separate delegation or Australia pavilion for NAVDEX but encourage maritime companies to submit an EOI to be a Rover at IDEX. TDA will host a pre-event brief and networking function prior to the show open (TBC)
