UAE defense firm EDGE Group wants to turn homegrown military tech into a global business

EDGE Group, the UAE's leading defense firm, is setting its sights on becoming a global player in the defense industry by boosting homegrown military technology. CEO Hamad Al Marar outlines the UAE's strategy to leverage advanced technology, state-of-the-art manufacturing, and a robust export strategy to compete on the world stage. This move is crucial as it not only positions the UAE as a key player in the global defense market but also aligns with broader economic diversification goals, aiming to reduce reliance on oil and foster innovation-driven growth. This ambitious plan could reshape Middle Eastern defense dynamics and attract international investment.
