Likewise, SAMI leverages the WDS platform to support its mission of scaling up the defense industries sector.

The event provides an unparalleled platform for industry leaders, governments, SMEs, and local startups to network, forge new partnerships, and explore investment opportunities, all while highlighting Saudi Arabia\u2019s evolving defense capabilities. Building on the immense success of the 2024 edition, WDS 2026 offers enhanced opportunities for collaboration and knowledge sharing within the global defense community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Andrew Pearcey, CEO of World Defense Show, commented: &#8220;We are delighted to continue our partnership with SAMI for the third edition of WDS. Their leadership in defense localization and innovation is central to the success of the show and to the Kingdom\u2019s broader Vision 2030 goals. Together, we are helping to shape the future of defense, both locally and globally.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wael M Al Sarhan, SAMI\u2019s Chief Communication and Support Service Officer, added: &#8220;Our strategic partnership with World Defense Show underscores our commitment to contributing to the localization of the Kingdom\u2019s defense spending, a core target of Saudi Vision 2030. \u200e Reflecting our dedication to showcasing national capabilities by advancing cutting-edge technologies and fostering national talents to develop world-class defense products and services\u2014 to build a self-sufficient defense ecosystem that supports the Kingdom\u2019s economic diversification goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 26 January, 2025 \u2014 World Defense Show (WDS) proudly announces continuation of its strategic partnership with Saudi Arabian Military Industries (SAMI) for the show\u2019s third edition, to be held 8-12 February 2026 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
