Egypt’s Defence Expo 2025 (EDEX 2025) wrapped up its activities today. The event recorded a heavy public turnout throughout its activities, reflecting the success of hosting this major international gathering in Egypt.
The exhibition also saw strong participation from leading global defence companies, alongside a prominent Egyptian pavilion showcasing advanced military technologies that highlight the country’s steady progress toward localising defence manufacturing and strengthening Egypt’s leadership role in Africa and the Middle East.
Military delegations were keen to tour all exhibition pavilions and review the latest developments in weapons systems and defence industries.
The event also drew extensive media presence from domestic and international outlets, which sought to capture the high level of engagement that EDEX offers to professionals and stakeholders in defence and armament.
Many visitors praised EDEX 2025 for its exceptional organisation and global calibre, noting the presence of major international defence manufacturers.
They also highlighted the remarkable progress of Egypt’s national defence industry, which reflects the country’s ambitious strategic vision across all sectors.
On the sidelines of the exhibition, the Air Defence Forces organised a scientific seminar titled “Approaches to Providing Air and Missile Defence Against Modern Aerial Threats.” The session was attended by senior commanders of the Egyptian Armed Forces, air defence leaders from friendly nations, and representatives of major global companies specialising in air-defence systems, equipment, and technologies.
Commander of the Air Defence Forces Lieutenant General Yasser El-Toudy delivered a keynote address welcoming all participating delegations.
He underscored the importance of the seminar in understanding the implications of modern warfare and the emerging aerial threats posed by the use of cyber technologies and artificial intelligence in drones and multi-warhead missiles—challenges that place significant demands on contemporary air-defence systems.
