LibDex 2008 is supported at the highest level, by the Libyan government in the form of the Libyan Department of Defence, General Commitee of Defence and is organised by Libya's leading event organizer Waha Expo, who are the organisers of the already famous, Libyan Aviation event, LAVEX.

LibDex 2008 will provide the key to the door, to enter into business with the Libyan defence industry, which due to extenuating circumstances has stayed locked for many years. The event will feature a three day trade event, interactive workshops and the opportunity for participants to demonstrate their products in a semi-live situation. The event will be visited by the top level Libyan civial and military decision makers.

Forecast International recently identified the African continent as the next defence market opportunity. Libya was one of the three coountries that they specified which had exceptional growth potential for exporters of defence and security equipment and services.
