The Canada Partnership Pavilion at DIMDEX 2026
DIMDEX is a premier platform that connects key decision-makers and industry leaders in maritime defense and security. As Qatar continues to invest in naval and military technology, the event serves as a vital marketplace for buyers seeking the latest innovations. For Canada, attending DIMDEX offers a strategic opportunity to strengthen defense and trade relationships, showcase advanced technologies, and explore potential partnerships. Canadian companies can engage directly with high-level stakeholders, positioning themselves within a growing market and capitalizing on Qatar’s interest in cutting-edge defense solutions.
About the Show
First held in 2008, DIMDEX has grown into a premier international maritime defense and security event, playing a pivotal role in the industry calendar. More than just an exhibition, the four-day event features the prestigious Middle East Naval Commanders Conference (MENC), high-level VIP delegation visits, and the arrival of warships at Doha Commercial Port.
For Canada, DIMDEX presents a valuable opportunity to engage with key decision-makers, showcase advanced naval and defense technologies, and strengthen trade and security partnerships in the region. As Qatar continues to invest in military and naval advancements, the event serves as a strategic gateway for Canadian companies looking to expand their footprint in the Middle East. Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) and agreements are actively negotiated and signed live on the show floor, reinforcing DIMDEX’s significance as a global hub for defense collaboration.
