AidEx Brussels
AidEx Brussels’ fundamental aim is to engage the sector at every level and provide a forum for aid & development professionals to meet, source, supply and learn. The event was created to help the international aid and development community engage the private sector in a neutral setting, drive innovation and support the ever-growing need for emergency aid and development programmes. From major NGOs and global policymakers through to innovative suppliers of specialist products, AidEx facilitates relationships that would be otherwise unachievable.
The two-day event encompasses a conference, exhibition, meeting areas, awards, and workshops. Over 200 suppliers from around the world will exhibit at AidEx. The exhibition floor is organized into various zones: Medical, Food & Water, Shelter, Logistics & Communications, as well as many country pavilions.
Alongside the exhibition, thought-leaders and policymakers from across the international humanitarian community will discuss the latest issues affecting the sector within AidEx’s conference.
