Unlock Gulf Defense Markets
Navigate procurement, partnerships, and compliance with in-country expertise.
The UAE and Gulf States are recapitalizing defense capability at speed—scaling aerospace, ISR, autonomy, and resilient supply chains. Awards are moving fast, with localization and sovereign capability now gating criteria.
Yet international OEMs hit friction: stringent eligibility, Tawazun/EDGE pathways, offset and local-content obligations, unfamiliar FMS/DCS timelines, and crowded competitive fields.
Defendex Partners is a UK-registered defense and security representation firm, officially recognized by key UAE defense entities. We help global OEMs and advanced technology suppliers become procurement-ready and gain trusted access to the Gulf defense market.
