The UAE is bringing the heat to Jakarta as it takes center stage at Indo Defence 2025, being held from June 11 to 14 at the Jakarta International Expo. With a national pavilion spread across a massive 704 square metres, the UAE is not just participating—it’s commanding attention. Organized with the support of the Tawazun Council and the Ministry of Defence, this powerhouse display cements the UAE’s rising dominance in global defence dialogues.
At the heart of the pavilion are over 90 cutting-edge defence products and systems spanning land, sea, air, cybersecurity, and secure communications—proof of the UAE’s skyrocketing capabilities in advanced manufacturing and military tech. The EDGE Group leads the charge, bringing along a high-calibre squad including CARACAL, LAHAB, HALCON, AL TARIQ, NIMR, SIGN4L, KATIM, and others. Even heavyweights like Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB), BEACON RED, HORIZON, and AMMROC have reported for duty, reinforcing the UAE’s comprehensive, full-spectrum approach to defence.
More than just showcasing hardware, the UAE’s participation is a strategic masterstroke. “This isn’t just a display of technology—it’s a declaration of intent,” said Matar Ali Al Romaithi, Sector Chief at Tawazun Council. He underlined how the event is pivotal for building closer UAE-Indonesia defence ties and unlocking partnerships across Asia’s fast-growing defence markets.
As the global geopolitical landscape evolves, the UAE is ensuring it’s not just a spectator but a player and partner. Through its Indo Defence appearance, the UAE underscores its commitment to innovation, industrial excellence, and regional stability. This move fits seamlessly into the country’s long-term vision to become a trusted, influential player in the global defence arena—exporting not only weapons but also innovation, security, and economic opportunity.
Bottom line? At Indo Defence 2025, the UAE isn’t just raising flags—it’s raising the bar.
