The Kingdom is preparing to host the Saudi Drone and Systems Exhibition 2026 (SADEX 2026), a specialized platform for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) that brings together companies, technology and solution providers and specialists in the drone and autonomous systems ecosystem.
The exhibition focuses on the B2B sector, giving local and international companies access to the Saudi and regional markets and a view of sector needs and the commercial and investment opportunities tied to the rapid growth in the use of drones and unmanned systems.
SADEX 2026 unites the different players in the unmanned systems ecosystem, from manufacturers and technology developers to solution and service providers and organizations seeking new applications for drones.
Participants can present the latest solutions and innovations and follow the technical and commercial developments shaping the future of the drone industry in the Kingdom and the region.
The event also provides direct contact between companies, decision-makers and specialists, helping to build professional relationships and explore cooperation and partnership opportunities.
The exhibition focuses on creating real business opportunities for participating companies by combining market knowledge, commercial presence and networking among those working in the sector.
This comes as unmanned systems are used more widely across many fields, creating a need for specialized solutions, technologies and services that support operations, management and the use of data.
The exhibition also helps international companies gain a closer understanding of the Saudi market and build channels with potential partners and customers in the Kingdom and the region.
