BRIDEX first took place from May 31 to June 2, 2007 at the International Convention Centre, Brunei Darussalam. It was officiated by His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah, the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam, the Minister of Defence and the Supreme Commander of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces - who also toured the entire exhibition. The guidance of His Majesty has been instrumental in BRIDEX's inception.

BRIDEX 2007 saw the participation of 108 companies, representing 16 countries, with more than 60 international delegates from 17 countries and over 11,000 visitors during the three-day show. One of the highlights of BRIDEX 2007 was the "Defence White Paper 2007 Update: Defending the Nation's Sovereignty", which His Majesty also consented to launch during the opening of the exhibition.

BRIDEX 2009 saw tremendous success with 25,000 visitors, 200 exhibitors from 26 countries and 300 international delegates, representing 40 countries. His Majesty King Abdullah II bin Al Hussein of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan also attended the event. Several awards were given out to exhibitors with Jordan bagging the 'Most Creative Booth' while the 'Most Outstanding Domestic Booth' went to EDS Mobility Technology. 

BRIDEX 2011, coinciding with the golden 50th anniversary of Royal Brunei Armed Forces is proving to be another hit with a greater number of exhibitors and visitors, targeting over 300 exhibitors and 500 international delegates.

BRIDEX benefits from the support of the Ministry of Defence, Brunei Darussalam, and the Royal Brunei Armed Forces, which helped to establish its position in the international defence and security calendar.
