EDGE Group marks five years of innovation and growth

Since its establishment in November 2019, the company has charted a transformative path defined by unprecedented growth, strategic partnerships, and breakthrough innovations. The group has redefined the landscape of advanced technologies and defence capabilities, establishing the UAE as a driving force in the sector.

Since its inception in 2019, EDGE has expanded its product portfolio from 30 to 201 cutting-edge solutions across air, land, sea, and cyber domains – a rapid growth of more than 550% in five years. During this time, the company has also scaled its global footprint, with its solutions now reaching customers in 91 countries. International orders have surged from USD 18.5 million in 2019 to over USD 2.1 billion in 2024. Additionally, annual revenue has reached USD 4.9 billion in 2024, reflecting the remarkable financial growth driven by its strategic investments and innovation.

Faisal Al Bannai, EDGE Group Chairman, said: “In a constantly evolving and highly competitive international defence landscape, it was almost inconceivable that a new disruptor from the UAE could, in just five years, rise so rapidly to become a global industry player punching way above its weight across multiple domains. This is a testament to the vision and tenacity of the UAE Government, and is largely thanks to our highly skilled and diverse workforce, whose dedication and drive for excellence has ensured that EDGE is in a position to move boldly into a new era of international growth.

“This remarkable progress, driven by multi-billion-dollar investments in research and development, has resulted in ground-breaking advancements covering the spheres of air, land, sea, cyber, and space, with a focus on autonomous solutions, smart systems, and electronic warfare – all areas where we have an ambition to lead. EDGE continues to set new benchmarks, to forge mutually beneficial partnerships worldwide, and to build upon the progress we have made as a national vanguard of future technologies.”
