The Estonian defence industry is proudly presenting its products and services at the World Defence Show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. With 10 innovative Estonian companies represented, the past days have been extremely busy — filled with high-level meetings, new connections, and promising discussions.
Our delegation was honored by a visit from the Estonian Minister of Defence, who came to support our defence industry and strengthen collaboration on the global stage. The Estonian defence industry also had the opportunity to engage with His Excellency Eng. Ahmad bin Abdulaziz Al-Ohali, Governor of the General Authority for Military Industries (GAMI) in Saudi Arabia, as well as representatives from SAMI AEC, further expanding our network of strategic partners. The companies were also visited by the European Union Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, H.E. Christophe Farnaud.
We are also thrilled to announce that during the World Defence Show, three Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) were signed between Estonian companies and international partners:
- Defsecintel Solutions & The Armored Group
- Frankenburg Technologies & Hanwha
- Threod Systems & First Shield
The show has been a tremendous success for the Estonian defence industry — an excellent platform for showcasing our capabilities, forging new partnerships, and exploring future opportunities.
Thank you to the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Estonia, and Trade with Estonia for supporting our companies’ entry into the international arena. Our thank you also go to the companies representing us: DefSecIntel Solutions, Defendec Ltd, Frankenburg Technologies, HEVI Optronics, KrattWorks, MARU Defence, Nortal, Skeleton Technologies, Threod Systems, 5.0 Robotics.
