He engaged with local and international participants, reviewed new products and cultural initiatives, and expressed pride in the event’s continued growth.

The exhibition reflects the legacy of our forefathers, reinforces the UAE’s commitment to sustainability, and highlights the creativity of Emirati youth.”
He also praised ADIHEX as a symbol of the UAE’s vision to connect tradition with modernity and position itself as a global bridge between heritage and innovation.
Organised by ADNEC Group in cooperation with the Emirates Falconers’ Club, the exhibition has become a cornerstone of the UAE’s cultural calendar. It provides unmatched networking opportunities and showcases the UAE’s enduring commitment to cultural preservation, environmental stewardship, and support for creative industries.
