Eurosatory 2026

Join defence and security professionals from across the globe at Eurosatory 2026 — the world's leading land and air-land defence and security exhibition, bringing together governments, armed forces, industry leaders, and innovators every two years in Paris.

Overview 

Eurosatory is the premier international reference event for the global defence and security industry. Held every two years at the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre, the exhibition attracts tens of thousands of visitors and hundreds of exhibitors from around the world, including defence ministries, armed forces, major defence contractors, SMEs, research institutions, and technology innovators.

Participants will discover the latest equipment, systems, and technologies across land combat, force protection, cybersecurity, unmanned systems, and dual-use innovation. The event combines a large-scale exhibition floor with a structured programme of conferences, live demonstrations, and high-level bilateral meetings designed to facilitate international cooperation and procurement decisions.

Eurosatory serves as a strategic platform for defence procurement officials, military delegations, and industry executives to exchange knowledge, assess emerging capabilities, and build the partnerships that shape the future of defence.
