EDGE Group announces new EDGE Europe entity to meet demand in European market

The expansion is expected to offer defence tech to European customers, such as autonomous systems, air, naval and ground platforms, propulsion, artificial intelligence, electronic warfare, sensors and communications.

The company already has acquisitions of major stakes in key companies across the region such as Milrem Robotics in Estonia, Anavia in Switzerland and Flaris in Poland, the planned acquisition of CMD in Italy, joint ventures with Fincantieri and Indra Sistemas, and strategic partnerships with Leonardo and Safran.

“Europe stands at a defining moment for its defence, and EDGE has come to be part of its future. We are here to invest in its talent, build alongside its industry, and create lasting capability on European soil,” EDGE Group chairman H.E. Faisal Al Bannai said.

“The defence capabilities that matter most in the decade ahead will be built by those bold enough to do things differently, with the speed and ambition this era demands.

“EDGE Europe pairs the speed of a new generation of defence company with the depth of an established industrial group, and we build hand in hand with our partners.

“This is the model Europe’s defence needs next, and we intend to drive it here.

“Over decades, the UAE and France have built a partnership of enduring strength. Choosing Paris for the headquarters of EDGE Europe is a deliberate mark of that bond, and we are determined to forge partnerships of the same strength right across the continent.”

EDGE’s headquarters in Abu Dhabi consolidates more than 35 entities into five core clusters of platforms and systems, missiles and weapons, space and cyber technology, industrialisation and technologies, as well as homeland security.
