UAE Defense Giant Targets European Market Amid Growing Demand
The UAE’s EDGE Group is expanding its presence in Europe with a new office in Paris, as the company seeks to tap into the continent’s defense market. According to CEO Hamad Al Marar, Europe is the company’s ’next large market’, driven by the need for European solutions and a desire to work with NATO customers. EDGE already has a presence in Europe through prior defense deals and subsidiaries, but the new office marks a significant step in the company’s efforts to establish a full-fledged presence on the continent. The move was announced on the sidelines of the Eurosatory defense exhibition, as reported by Breaking Defense.
