Welcome to AidEx 2012

AidEx is the only event of its kind taking place in Europe for buyers and suppliers of humanitarian and development aid.

Taking place on 24-25 October 2012 in Brussels, AidEx is the annual opportunity for humanitarian and development aid professionals to come together to shape the future and to facilitate improvements in the delivery of humanitarian aid and development.

AidEx has been created with direct input from major NGOs and includes an exhibition, conference, practical workshops and networking opportunities.

  • “AidEx has got off to a flying start! I have been at the exhibition for the full two days and I have found it to be extremely informative. I have been impressed by the quality and quantity of suppliers exhibiting – some of whom I have seen before but many that are new to me. I thought that the local supplier zone was a great initiative which helped achieve a balance between large and small exhibitors.
    Mark Hawkins, Technology Manager, Merlin

  • “We've been very pleased with the number of visitors we have had to our stand representing a range of countries, and have found AidEx very useful for networking.”
    Antoine Jaulain, ContenO


  • “AidEx has been a very positive event and we have already rebooked our stand for the 2012 exhibition.”
    Peter Bush, Diversity Travel

  • “It's been a good show - as a company we've been attending humanitarian aid shows since 1996 and think it's great to have a European platform for aid organisations to come together and network.”
    Verborgh Glenn, Alpinter

  • “We have had some very positive leads from some really good visitors so it has been spot on for us in terms of audience targeting. We've also met some good organisations that we may be able to link-up with on joint projects.”
    James Hilyard, Conrico


  • “I came to AidEx looking for new technologies, market developments and contacts and it has certainly been a good experience for me. There are quite a few interesting exhibitors and I would definitely come back in the future.”
    Philip Janssens, Technical Referent, Medecins Sans Frontieres

  • "I attended quite a few of the conference sessions, which were excellent, - in fact, I would even have preferred it if some of them were a little longer. Overall, a really worthwhile investment for me as a visitor and I will definitely be back next year.”
    Mark Hawkins, Technology Manager, Merlin

  • “Thanks a lot for your excellent AidEx exhibition! This was a really great show. During both days I saw all the relevant German relief organizations with their procurement officer.”
    Daniel Ginsberg, Supply Chain Manager, World Vision Deutschland e.V
