EDGE, one of the world’s leading advanced technology and defence groups, and Leonardo have confirmed their mutual intent to establish a joint venture (JV) in Abu Dhabi. 

 

The JV will create a cutting-edge technology hub in the UAE, strategically positioned to serve global markets through a unified and synergistic approach, said a statement.

 

The MoU was signed by Faisal Al Bannai, Chairman of EDGE Group, and Roberto Cingolani, CEO and General Manager of Leonardo during a recent visit to Abu Dhabi. This agreement marks the latest step in strengthening the collaboration between EDGE and Leonardo.
