ADNEC Group, in collaboration with the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and the Tawazun Council, has launched the CBRNE Hub, a new initiative organised by the Chemical Defence Command of the MoD, at the International Defence Exhibition (IDEX 2025) and Naval Defence and Maritime Security Exhibition (NAVDEX 2025).
Located in a dedicated space in Hall 14 of IDEX 2025, the CBRNE Hub aims to foster innovation, knowledge exchange, and international collaboration by establishing the first global platform that brings together leaders, experts, decision-makers, and leading companies to develop CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives) defence strategies.
The unique platform will provide an exceptional opportunity to engage with industry leaders and discuss cutting-edge innovations and solutions.
Participating companies will showcase the latest products and advanced technologies, including detection, monitoring, containment, and risk mitigation tools, as well as digital solutions and -counter-CBRNE unmanned technologies.
The CBRNE Hub will feature several renowned global leaders and specialised experts who will discuss emerging trends and challenges while presenting the latest solutions for CBRNE preparedness and response.
Additionally, the hub will host training programmes and workshops designed to equip professionals with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively manage potential CBRNE incidents.
The Chemical Defence Command of the MoD, in cooperation with the Abu Dhabi Civil Defence Authority (ADCDA), the National Emergency, Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA), the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MoCCaE), the Ministry of Energy (MoE), and participating companies, will educate attendees by organising CBRNE awareness workshops.
The initiative will also foster creativity and networking opportunities, attracting military leaders, experts, and specialists from 13 countries, and 38 companies and institutions.
The hub is expected to attract high-profile international participants, including military leaders, defence experts, industry professionals, and policymakers, alongside ministers of defence and senior decision-makers.
The goal is to enhance cooperation, drive innovation, and strengthen strategic preparedness in global security.
The CBRNE Hub will present solutions to chemical threats, including impact mitigation, containment, and decontamination.
It will also address biological weapon threats, focusing on monitoring and rapid response measures.
Furthermore, it will enhance radiological detection and protection, and tackle nuclear threats with a focus on detection, containment, and emergency response, and assess explosive threats by outlining strategies for neutralisation and mitigation.
