EBS Consulting Supports Companies at IDEX 2027 and World Defense Show 2028
EBS Consulting now supports companies that want to be present at the two leading defence exhibitions of the Gulf: IDEX & NAVDEX 2027 in Abu Dhabi and World Defense Show 2028 in Riyadh. We support them either as exhibitors with their own stand, or through representation and meetings on their behalf.

The two exhibitions
- IDEX & NAVDEX 2027: 25–29 January 2027, ADNEC Centre, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. IDEX is the international defence exhibition, and NAVDEX the naval defence and maritime security exhibition held alongside it.
- World Defense Show 2028: 16–20 January 2028, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Founded by Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Military Industries (GAMI), the show covers air, land, sea, space and security.
Two ways we support you
From preparation to the follow-up of your contacts, we take care of your presence at the exhibition, in one of two ways.
Exhibiting with your own stand
- Booking your space and organising your participation with the organisers, with your own stand or within a national pavilion where there is one.
- Coordinating the design and set-up of your stand, and the practical side of your participation.
- Preparing your presence: the buyers and partners to target, your material and your key messages.
- Meetings scheduled in advance with buyers, prime contractors and partners, before and during the exhibition.
- Our team with you at the exhibition, and follow-up of your contacts afterwards.
Representation and contacts
- If you do not exhibit, we represent your company at the exhibition.
- We present your capabilities and products to buyers, prime contractors and partners, with your own material.
- We arrange meetings and hold them on your behalf.
- After the exhibition, you receive a report on the meetings and contacts, with the next steps.
In both cases, we can also arrange meetings with official delegations, such as those of ministries of defence and the chiefs of the armed forces.
