Event Description
EUROSATORY 2026: The Global Epicenter of Land & Air Defence Security (June 15-19, Paris)
EUROSATORY 2026, returning to Paris Nord Villepinte from June 15-19, 2026, stands as the world's foremost international exhibition dedicated to land and air defence and security. As the premier event of its kind, it serves as the indispensable platform where global defence ministries, armed forces, procurement agencies, industry leaders, and security professionals converge to showcase cutting-edge capabilities, forge critical partnerships, and shape the future of defence technology.
Unparalleled Scale & Scope:
Expect a massive exhibition floor spanning over 200,000 square meters, hosting over 1,600 exhibiting companies from more than 60 countries. This immense gathering represents the entire defence and security ecosystem: major prime contractors (e.g., Airbus Defence, Thales, Rheinmetall, Nexter, MBDA), innovative SMEs, technology providers, cybersecurity specialists, and manufacturers of everything from infantry weapons and vehicles to air defence systems, drones (UAS), simulation & training equipment, and mission-critical software. Attendee numbers consistently exceed 50,000, including high-level delegations from defence ministries and armed forces worldwide.
Thematic Focus: Innovation for Modern Threats:
EUROSATORY 2026 will spotlight the technologies and strategies essential for addressing today's complex security landscape. Key themes include:
1. Multi-Domain Integration: Seamless command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) across land, air, cyber, and space domains.
2. Future Combat Systems: Next-generation vehicles (manned and unmanned), soldier modernization, robotic systems, and artificial intelligence (AI) for enhanced decision-making and autonomy.
3. Air Defence & Missile Defence: Comprehensive solutions countering aerial threats, from drones and cruise missiles to ballistic missiles, featuring advanced sensors, interceptors, and command systems.
4. Cybersecurity & Resilience: Protecting critical defence infrastructure, data, and communications in an increasingly contested digital environment.
5. Unmanned Systems: The expanding role of UAS (drones) for reconnaissance, strike, logistics, and electronic warfare across all operational theatres.
6. Sustainability & Logistics: Innovations in reducing logistical footprint, enhancing energy efficiency, and ensuring operational sustainability in deployed environments.
The Hub for Business & Diplomacy:
Beyond the exhibition, EUROSATORY 2026 offers an unparalleled agenda of high-level conferences, seminars, and official meetings. These forums provide critical insights into defence policies, procurement strategies, technological trends, and geopolitical developments. It's the prime venue for networking, identifying partners, launching new products, and securing contracts. The event facilitates direct dialogue between end-users (militaries and security forces) and solution providers, driving innovation and accelerating capability development.
