New Delhi. 31 May 2026. Against the backdrop of growing geopolitical tensions, rapid technological advances and evolving security threats, Eurosatory 2026 is preparing to bring together the global defence and security community in Paris from June 15-19, 2026. Widely regarded as the world’s leading exhibition dedicated to land and air-land defence and security, the event will serve as a platform for showcasing cutting-edge technologies, fostering international cooperation and addressing the operational challenges confronting armed forces and security agencies worldwide.
Organised by Coges Events at the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre, Eurosatory 2026 will feature a comprehensive display of solutions designed to enhance operational readiness, industrial resilience, logistics, infrastructure protection and security capabilities in an increasingly uncertain global environment.
The 2026 edition will take place amid significant geopolitical and industrial transformation. According to the organisers, increasing regional conflicts, heightened security concerns and the need for greater defence production capacity have accelerated demand for modern military and security solutions. Eurosatory aims to provide a forum where decision-makers, military leaders, industry executives and security professionals can assess available capabilities and discuss practical solutions to contemporary challenges.
Having accompanied the evolution of the defence sector since its inception in 1967, Eurosatory continues to serve as a key venue for understanding emerging trends and identifying technologies ready for operational deployment. Eurosatory 2026 has already attracted participation from 54 countries, including 27 European Union member states and 28 NATO nations, underlining its global significance. Twenty-seven national pavilions have been confirmed, with France, Germany, the United States, Italy, Türkiye and the United Kingdom among the major participants.
Reflecting growing demand from industry stakeholders, the exhibition will expand into Hall 4 of the Paris Nord Villepinte complex, creating additional space for established defence companies, innovative start-ups and emerging industrial players. Organisers say the expansion supports the broader objective of strengthening defence industrial capacity and reindustrialisation efforts across the sector.
The exhibition will focus on four strategic themes that mirror the evolving priorities of defence and security organisations worldwide. These include multi-domain superiority and digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, cyber capabilities, space systems and counter-disinformation solutions. The growing integration of these technologies is reshaping military operations across land, sea, air, cyberspace and space domains.
A second area of focus will be remote engagement, land manoeuvre and air mobility, highlighting advancements in robotics, drones, tactical mobility platforms and next-generation effectors designed to enhance battlefield effectiveness. Comprehensive security, crisis management and risk prevention technologies will also feature prominently, reflecting the growing importance of civil security, emergency response and population protection capabilities. Finally, industrial resilience and the concept of a “war economy” will be explored, with attention on sovereign manufacturing capacity and long-term production sustainability.
In addition to its defence and security focus, Eurosatory continues efforts to promote sustainable event management. Organiser Coges Events is pursuing ISO 20121 certification, an internationally recognised standard for responsible event management, as part of its commitment to balancing industrial growth with environmental and social responsibility.
Charles Beaudouin, CEO of Coges Events, said the exhibition reflects the dynamism of the defence and security sector and provides a platform for showcasing practical solutions and technologies that address current operational needs.
As defence and security organisations worldwide confront increasingly complex challenges, Eurosatory 2026 is poised to serve as a critical meeting point for governments, armed forces, industry leaders and technology innovators. With expanding international participation, a focus on emerging technologies and industrial resilience, and discussions centred on future operational requirements, the exhibition is expected to reinforce its position as the premier global platform for land and air-land defence and security. The event will not only showcase the technologies shaping future conflicts but also facilitate the partnerships and strategic dialogue necessary to address tomorrow’s security challenges.
