Government, Industries and academia should work close together to bring about solutions to the challenges facing mankind. The conference is designed to bring thought leaders, policy makers, influencers, researchers and futurists under one roof in Abu Dhabi to debate and share ideas related to technological advancement and disruptive technologies.
The combined 2021 conference is the culmination of a bold vision to create a single, world-class event in Abu Dhabi and virtually. Our ambitious agenda centers on four inter-related focus areas: Cyber Security, Research & Development, Supply Chain, and 4iR & Artificial Intelligence Protection.
Discussion in each of these areas will bring together an impressive four of best-in-class experts, renowned industry and innovation leaders, academicians, senior flag officers, and defence decision-makers. Our multi-disciplinary panels will explore the most pressing challenges and opportunities for a shared future of stability, security and prosperity in a world struggling with several transformative and destabilizing transitions.
This conference marks the second time that two of the region’s signature and most well-attended events—the Abu Dhabi International Offset Conference (ADIOC) and the IDEX Conference—will be combined into a single “must attend” event for Defence, security, academic communities and companies operating in the region and internationally.
