• The constantly increasing foreign exhibitor participation illustrates Eurosatory’s status as the unmissable global event for defence and security.

Paris, June 2026: With more than 2,600 exhibitors from 68 countries, 40 national pavilions and the expected visits of more than 350 official delegations from 100 countries, Eurosatory has confirmed its status as the reference global tradeshow for the defence and security sectors. This edition marks a new stage in the event’s international development, driven by significant expansion by several exhibiting countries, the arrival of new participating nations and a growth trend observed across all continents.

Amid global rearmament, shifting geopolitical balances and the acceleration of industrial cooperation, Eurosatory is, now more than ever, a strategic platform where governments, armed forces, manufacturers, investors and innovators from around the world come together.

Growth Driven by Several Significantly Larger National Delegations

The 2026 edition features particularly striking growth in both the number of exhibitors and exhibition space.

Among the most significant increases is that of Ukraine, whose representation has grown spectacularly with more than 80 exhibitors compared to five in 2024, and an exhibition area more than five times the previous size. This rise in prominence illustrates the dynamism of Ukraine’s defence industrial ecosystem and its ambition to increase its international visibility. Another notable increase is Armenia, which has gone from 5 to 19 exhibitors, confirming the development of its industrial and technological capabilities in the fields of defence and security.

In Central Europe, Slovakia is also tripling its presence, with 23 exhibitors compared with 7 at the previous edition, whilst Poland continues to grow in strength, with 43 exhibitors compared with 22 in 2024, reflecting the country’s massive investment in its defence capabilities.

Other notable growth stories include Germany, which is cementing its position among the leading international delegations with over 200 exhibitors, but also USA, Croatia, Finland, Belgium, Italy and Australia, whose industrial ecosystems are showing sustained growth.

These developments underscore Eurosatory’s role as a global showcase for the industrial and technological capabilities of nations committed to modernising their defence and security capabilities.
