Atheeb Group, together with its subsidiaries PANNESMA and Atheeb Integrated Solutions Company (AISC), marks its third consecutive participation in the World Defense Show (WDS) 2026, reinforcing its strategic role in delivering advanced defense, security, and technology capabilities that support national and international defense ecosystem goals.

As one of the world’s leading defense and security exhibitions, the World Defense Show provides a global platform for defense industry leaders, innovators, and decision-makers to connect, collaborate and engage on next-generation defense technologies. Atheeb Group’s sustained involvement reflects its commitment to driving localization in defense and technology sectors and positioning Saudi Arabia as a key hub for capabilities development.

This year’s World Defense Show emphasizes localization across the defense industrial base, with the Kingdom targeting an ambitious 50% localization of defense industry capabilities by 2030, aligning with Saudi Arabia’s national development objectives and Vision 2030 priorities.

During its prior participation at WDS 2024, Atheeb Group and its subsidiaries highlighted their national capabilities in technology and defense systems, including C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance), as well as maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services for military assets — demonstrating core competencies that directly enhance operational readiness and sustainment of defense platforms.

Atheeb Group’s exhibition presence showcases its integrated approach to defense systems and services, positioning the Group as a partner of choice for government entities, defense primes, and multinational collaborators seeking tailored, locally enabled solutions and services. Attendees of the Atheeb Group pavilion will be able to engage with technical experts, view interactive demonstrations of cutting-edge solutions, and explore opportunities for strategic collaboration.

Atheeb Group looks forward to engaging with government officials, industry leaders, and defense stakeholders throughout the World Defense Show and further strengthening its role as a cornerstone of sustainable defense and technology development.
