UAE DEFENSE WEBINAR 2023 Please join us to learn about business opportunities in the UAE. This webinar will provide you with in-depth insights on current and future requirements, where to find procurement opportunities, and how to bid on available contracts. UAE Defense Market Highlights: The United Arab Emirates (UAE) ranks among the top 15 defense spenders in the world. The UAE spent about $22.5 billion on defense procurements in 2022. Reports expect this amount to reach $28.6 billion in 2027, with a compound annual growth rate of 4.8%. Many sales of defense articles and services contain both large DCS and FMS components. Integrating those two approaches into a coherent solution for the customer can prove challenging without close cooperation between U.S. industry and the U.S. Government. The United States and the UAE enacted a Defense Cooperation Agreement in 2019, which up-dated the 1994 defense accord. The agreement will enhance the robust military-to-military cooperation that the UAE and United States already enjoy. The agreement also enhances co-operation between the two nations at critical times and allows the United States to send more troops and equipment to the UAE. There are currently 3500 U.S. military personnel stationed at UAE military facilities.
