AFRIDEX announced the launch of its Outdoor Static Display and Live Demonstration Areas, creating a major new platform for defence and security companies to showcase operational capability in front of international delegations, procurement stakeholders, senior military leadership, industry leaders and global media.
AFRIDEX is creating one of the most operationally immersive defence exhibition environments in the world, combining large-scale outdoor capability displays, live multi-domain demonstrations and high-level industry engagement within a single integrated event environment.
Taking place from 26 to 29 October 2026 in Eko Atlantic, Lagos, Nigeria, the Africa International Defence Exhibition will convene government decision makers, armed forces, prime contractors and solution providers from across the global defence and security community.
Located within walking distance of the main halls, the Outdoor Static Display will provide exhibitors with a dedicated open-air environment to showcase major defence and security assets beyond the traditional exhibition stand format.
The area is expected to feature a broad range of land, air and maritime capability, including armoured vehicles, tanks, UAVs, static aircraft, maritime platforms, mobile command units, communications systems, robotics, autonomous technologies and advanced sensor systems.
Odiri Umusu, Portfolio Director AFRIDEX, dmg events, said: “AFRIDEX is a major step forward in creating a global defence and security exhibition platform for Africa. The integration of live demonstrations and large-scale capability displays will provide exhibitors, delegations and procurement stakeholders with a far more immersive understanding of operational capability, innovation and defence technology. By combining exhibition engagement with live operational environments, AFRIDEX is positioning itself among the most operationally focused defence exhibitions internationally, while also strengthening opportunities for industry collaboration, defence modernisation and strategic partnership across the region.”
