The Emirates News Agency reported that Generation 5 Holding is participating in DALO Industry Days 2026 to present its portfolio of advanced defence solutions across multiple domains as the Abu Dhabi company seeks greater collaboration with European industry players. The two-day event organised by the Danish Ministry of Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation brings together defence manufacturers, procurement officials and technology specialists from around the world. Organisers selected the expanded MCH Messecenter Herning venue to support increased attendance and facilitate deeper engagement among participants.
According to DefenceTech.dk, DALO Industry Days has expanded steadily since its launch in 2016, prompting the shift to larger facilities in Herning for the 2026 edition that runs through August 20. The exhibition incorporates live demonstrations, dedicated networking sessions and opportunities for direct meetings between suppliers and potential customers. This format has established the gathering as Scandinavia’s premier defence industry platform.
Generation 5 Holding positions itself as a comprehensive defence and technology partner delivering integrated systems in aerospace, land vehicles, naval platforms, space applications and cyber security, its corporate website states. The firm has pursued an active programme of international alliances to support technology localisation and joint manufacturing within the UAE. Its presence at the Danish event represents a deliberate step toward broadening those relationships into northern European markets.
EDR Magazine reported in April that Generation 5 Holding concluded an exclusive strategic partnership with Embraer to promote the C-390 Millennium multi-mission military transport aircraft across the UAE. The agreement covers comprehensive support elements including maintenance, training and potential local assembly components. Executives at both organisations described the collaboration as a foundation for long-term cooperation in tactical airlift capabilities.
A June report from Al Jundi detailed a teaming agreement between Generation 5 Holding and South Korea’s Hanwha Aerospace to produce the K9 self-propelled howitzer system inside the UAE. The arrangement advances Emirati objectives to develop sovereign defence manufacturing capacity while incorporating proven foreign technology. Similar initiatives have become central to the holding company’s growth strategy over the past year.
The official DALO Industry Days programme includes outdoor demonstration areas and indoor exhibition halls that allow participants to display equipment ranging from unmanned systems to command-and-control platforms. Generation 5 Holding representatives are engaging with attendees to explore prospective joint ventures and supply chain opportunities. Such interactions at established defence forums have historically led to concrete agreements that strengthen participating nations’ industrial bases.
