Cairo. More than 100 military and government attendees from 40 countries joined a briefing reception on April 5 on the upcoming edition of Egypt Defence Expo, which is scheduled to be held from November 29-December 2, 2021.

The officials in attendance were Defence Attachés, Military Attachés, Commercial and Trade Officers, and other senior military officials from the Egyptian Ministry of Defence (MOD).

EDEX is the only event-of-its-kind in North Africa, offering exhibitors an opportunity to display the latest in military systems and hardware to a focused audience majorly from West Asia and Africa.

The event is fully supported by Egyptian Armed Forces and presents a brand-new opportunity for over 400 exhibitors to showcase the latest technology, equipment and systems across land, sea, and air. More than 30,000 industry visitors are expected to attend the Egyptian defence and security expo.

With 920,000 military personnel, the largest military power in Africa and one of the leading forces worldwide, Egypt is the ideal setting for a large-scale defence & security event. In addition, Egypt has historically maintained continuous investment in the latest weaponry as a defence strategy and has strengthened national production lines across a range of military complexes.
