Abu Dhabi-based EDGE, one of the world’s leading advanced technology and defence groups, is spreading its wings into previously unchartered territories and will open a new Latin American (LATAM) regional office in Brasilia, the federal capital of Brazil.
The announcement was made as EDGE participates in the LAAD Defence & Security 2023 in Rio de Janeiro. The group is showcasing in the exhibition for the first time with 10 of its portfolio companies and more than 50 advanced solutions and products.
These include autonomous air and land systems, naval systems, precision-guided munitions, small arms and ammunition, and electronic warfare.
Mansour AlMulla, Managing Director and CEO, said: “This is a tremendously proud moment for EDGE as a relatively young company of just over three years.
“Today’s announcement of our new LATAM regional office in Brasilia is a clear signal of our confidence in markets across the continent and the valuable opportunities they present for international business development, knowledge sharing, and greater prosperity.
“As we expand our global footprint, we are now taking a keen commercial interest in these markets with the aim of showcasing our industry-leading advanced technology and defence solutions, forging new partnerships, and assisting in the development of national defence capabilities.”
Established in 2019, EDGE has secured more than $5 billion worth of orders during 2022. Of these, international exports account for nearly $1.2 billion.
The company now has a presence in 30 countries across five continents – North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia. The group has a clear focus on highly price-competitive and technologically advanced autonomous systems, smart weapons, and cyber technologies.
