According to the report, EDGE Group and Barzan Holdings have agreed to form a joint venture that will develop advanced defense technologies, deepening industrial cooperation between the UAE and Qatar. The deal was signed at the Doha International Maritime Defense Exhibition and Conference 2026, which opened in January in Doha.
The report stated that the teaming will support the production of military equipment as national security needs increase in both countries. Sources said that the collaboration could also potentially cover missiles, autonomous systems, satellites, and sustainment services.
EDGE group CEO Hamad Al Marar noted that the agreement reflects the company’s push to grow expertise through trusted regional partners. Additionally, Breaking Defense quoted Al Marar as saying that this joint venture with Barzan Holdings shows the importance EDGE places on trusted partnerships as they expand internationally.
The report said that Abu Dhabi-based EDGE, launched in 2019, consolidates more than 35 subsidiaries centered on projectiles, unmanned solutions, space, cyber technologies, and homeland security. The state-owned company’s portfolio spans loitering munitions, military communications, and other software-driven and smart capabilities.
Additionally, the report said that Barzan Holdings serves as Qatar’s defense investment arm, overseeing funding and commercial partnerships to build sovereign military capabilities. Its activities range from armored vehicles and munitions to maintenance, repair, and overhaul services.
