Abu Dhabi, UAE: October, 2025 – As we raise the UAE flag, we honour a symbol of strength, unity, and national purpose. It reflects our resolve to advance progress, sustain pride, and build lasting self-reliance through knowledge, innovation, and national capability.
Flag Day this year comes at a time of decisive progress for the UAE. In line with our leadership’s vision for a prosperous and sustainable future, we continue to invest in advanced technologies and strategic industries that will define the decades ahead. The direction is clear: to deepen capability, enhance resilience, and ensure the nation remains equipped to meet the challenges of an evolving world.
For EDGE, the flag represents both purpose and responsibility. It reinforces our commitment to developing UAE-made defence and technology solutions that strengthen security, drive industrial growth, and expand the country’s role as a centre of innovation. Every system we design, produce, and deliver reflects the ambition and confidence of the nation we serve.
As we salute the flag, we reaffirm our loyalty to the UAE’s leadership and our commitment to advancing their vision of a secure, self-reliant, and future-ready nation. With resolve and purpose, EDGE will continue to build the technologies and industries that ensure the UAE remains strong, confident, and always ahead.
