The 16th edition of Central Europe's biggest defence and dual-use technology event: 9,000+ visitors, 400+ exhibitors from 35 countries, and delegations from 70+. For a founder it is one room: an Innovation Pavilion for startups and spin-offs, an Innovators Stage pitch programme, the Innovation Awards, and the people actually buying, i.e. ministries, NATO working groups and primes. The 2026 strategic theme is "Defense 2035+", with tracks on autonomous systems and AI, counter-UAS, cyber, CBRN and homeland security. Go if you build anything with a defence or dual-use angle and need customers, partners or a wedge into a very opaque buyer.
