Abu Dhabi, February 19. EDGE, one of the world’s leading advanced technology and defence groups, and Naval Group, an international naval defence player, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), to explore potential collaboration opportunities in naval combat systems. Signed at the International Defence Exhibition & Conference 2025 (IDEX 2025), the MoU is aimed at meeting the requirements of modern naval forces around the globe.
Hamad Al Marar, Managing Director & CEO, EDGE, said: “EDGE places tremendous focus on the development of sophisticated naval systems for national defence requirements in the UAE and for militaries overseas. This strategic collaboration with Naval Group is an important vehicle which will create valuable opportunities for us to hone our experience and expertise, and to expand into existing and untapped markets for commercial success and sustainable growth in our field.”
Pierre Eric Pommellet, Chairman & CEO, Naval Group, stated: “We are very honoured to have the opportunity to team up with EDGE and to pave the way for further cooperation. Naval Group has successfully delivered two GOWIND COMBAT CLASS Ships to UAE Navy in 2023 and 2024 and entered into the National Combat Management System as a pledge of the UAE sovereignty. Now, together with EDGE, we wish to build a new foundation upon which Naval Group and EDGE wish to develop a new cooperation in the naval domain, to innovate and conquer new market shares together.”
Attendees can visit EDGE’s diverse portfolio at stand C20 in Hall 5, outdoor stand CP-270, and ADSB at NAVDEX 2025, stand B-022, from February 17 to 21, 2025.
