Major General Mubarak Saeed bin Ghafan Al Jabri, Chairman of the Supreme Organizing Committee of the exhibitions, said that, “Since their first launch in 2015, the UMEX and SimTEX exhibitions have witnessed significant developments on all fronts, thanks to four main success factors. The first factor is the significant and unlimited support from the wise leadership and their gracious patronage of these events, providing all aspects of support for their success, in addition to the leading global stature of the country and its diplomatic relationships with all countries of the world, which contributed to enhancing the competitiveness of the exhibitions and their ability to attract major global specialized companies from the five continents.”
Mr. Al Jabri clarified that the present edition of the exhibitions is the biggest and most comprehensive since their inception. This scale reflects the growing significance of unmanned systems in upholding international peace and security. Additionally, these industries and their innovative advancements play a crucial role in driving the sustainable development of national economies. They now extend beyond defence applications to encompass commercial and civilian uses.
