Why it matters

As the only C-UAS conference focused on the Middle East and Africa, this event provides direct access to procurement decision-makers and military end-users from 40+ nations who are actively acquiring counter-drone capabilities — a market driven by ongoing conflicts across the region and the Red Sea.

  • For SMEs and technology suppliers, it offers a rare concentrated channel to brief Jordanian Armed Forces, GCC militaries, African defence ministries, and U.S./NATO representatives in a single venue.
  • The senior-level, invitation-screened format means exhibitors engage with genuine buyers rather than general audiences.

About

Counter UAS Technology Middle East & Africa is the only counter-UAS conference dedicated exclusively to the Middle East and Africa region, co-produced by SAE Media Group and the Jordan Design and Development Bureau (JODDB).

  • The two-day event brings together senior military leaders, government officials, and defence industry specialists to address the evolving UAS threat landscape, procurement priorities, and interoperability requirements specific to the region.
  • Sessions cover detection, mitigation, and defeat technologies alongside operational lessons from active conflict zones, critical infrastructure protection, and regulatory frameworks.
  • The conference operates under the patronage of the Jordanian Armed Forces and draws delegates from across the GCC, Africa, and allied Western nations.

Bonner IT-Dialog 2026

Bonn / Germany

As the successor to the long-running Koblenzer IT-Tagung, the Bonner IT-Dialog is a focused access point to Bundeswehr requirement-owners (particularly the ZDigBw) and other public-sector decision-makers shaping Germany's defence-IT and resilience programmes. For SMEs and defence-tech startups, its showcase exhibition and networking with primes, agencies and research institutions offer visibility on where future procurement and capability priorities are heading. Its tight, high-level format makes it well suited to relationship-building rather than mass lead generation.

Ekoparty Buenos Aires 2026

Buenos Aires / Argentina

With 10,000+ attendees drawn from across Latin America and beyond, Ekoparty is the dominant access point for cybersecurity vendors, researchers, and recruiters seeking the LATAM market. The Business Hall and Speed Interviews programme (EkoJobs) create direct commercial and talent-acquisition opportunities for exhibiting companies. For startups and SMEs, the conference's community-driven Villages and sponsorship tiers offer cost-effective brand exposure to a highly technical, decision-influencing audience.

ДронКонгресс | БАС.ЭКСПО

Saint Petersburg / Russia

This is Russia's primary closed-format annual gathering where UAS and counter-UAS suppliers meet industrial procurement decision-makers and federal regulators in a single room — before requirements crystallize into formal tenders. The scenario-session format on Day 2 gives vendors direct insight into buyer selection criteria, while the live polygon demonstration on Day 3 allows technology to be evaluated under operational conditions rather than on a trade-show stand. For SMEs and startups, the 'Industry Premieres' slot and investment session provide structured access to both customers and capital in one event.
