The defense manufacturing industry is facing today unprecedented challenges due to the evolving geopolitical situation. With major increases in defense budgets, local defense manufacturers are boosting their production to satisfy the increasing demand, and looking for more suppliers throughout the globe.
More important several countries such as the United Arab Emirates have decided to increase the local supply chain by dramatically multiplying the partnerships between local entities and reliable international OEMs. This creates unparalleled opportunities for defense industry suppliers from around the world.
As a B2B event exclusively dedicated to the supply chain of the defense industry, AJBAN Defense Industry & Technology Exhibition helps addressing these challenges, by allowing defense manufacturers in the region identify new procurement partners.
The first 2 editions in 2024 and 2025 were dedicated exclusively to the UAE market, however the last edition in 2026 gathered for the first time 40% of international exhibitors, paving the way to more international presence.
In 2027 the event will feature:
Ajban Defense Industry & Technology Exhibition is a one-to-one event, held at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Center (ADNEC). It is closed to the general public with visitors admitted by invitation only.
Ajban is a unique exhibition, grouping traditional exhibition stands, workshops, one to one preset meetings and networking functions.
A unique online platform featuring all the visitors in advance. Since Ajban is closed to the general public, it allows us to post in advance all the confirmed visiting buyers to the difference of all other open to public events.
This program will be dedicated to identifying potential partners for exhibiting companies to setup and fund local manufacturing facilities.
In order to guarantee the presence of the decision makers at the exhibition, AJBAN will host 100 buyers from around the region. This will include a return ticket and hotel accommodation for top buyers from Saudi Arabia, Oman, Egypt, Kuwait, Bahrain, Turkey…
Exhibitors can nominate potential buyers to be hosted. If they fit the criteria, they will be hosted by the organiser on behalf of the exhibitor, whose name will be clearly shown in the invitation. This is ideal for reaching prospects that have been hard to reach.
We believe that one-to-one meeting events have a higher return on investment than traditional exhibitions who base their success on the number of visitors, instead of the number of sales leads generated by those visitors.
AJBAN will feature demos and workshops offered by exhibitors to visitors. These events can be promoted on the online platform prior to the show and registrations of interested visitors can be undertaken days before the show. Exhibitors can plan for example for a 20 mins workshop to showcase their products/ services to a group of 20- 25 visitors. This can be done on the exhibitor’s stand or in one of the meeting rooms.
It’s time to simplify the process and supercharge your company’s growth. Introducing our powerful matchmaking feature, designed to revolutionize how you connect with other businesses.
