Eurosatory 2026
Eurosatory is the world’s largest international land and air-land defense and security exhibition, held biennially at Paris-Nord Villepinte since 1967. Organized by COGES Events, a subsidiary of GICAT, this five-day professional event brings together the entire defense and security ecosystem to address contemporary challenges from high-intensity conflicts to humanitarian and environmental disasters. The 2024 edition attracted over 2,000 exhibitors from 61 countries, 334 official delegations from 93 countries, and 76,285+ trade visitors, demonstrating Eurosatory’s position as the premier global platform for land and airland defense. The 2026 edition takes place June 15-19 in Halls 5a, 5b, and 6, with exhibition hours Monday-Thursday 9am-5pm and Friday 9am-4pm. Eurosatory showcases comprehensive defense capabilities including armored vehicles, artillery systems, infantry equipment, communications networks, cyber defense solutions, unmanned ground vehicles, counter-drone systems, soldier modernization programs, logistics platforms, simulation technologies, and operational medicine. The exhibition features designated Technology Clusters organizing exhibitors by common themes including CBRNe defense, research and development, manufacturing and supply chain, and emerging technologies. Live demonstrations by elite French units including GIGN, BRI, and RAID showcase cutting-edge tactics and equipment. The conference program delivers high-level discussions with defense ministers, military chiefs of staff, procurement directors, and international security experts addressing geopolitical challenges, defense industrial policy, technological innovation, and operational lessons from current conflicts. Eurosatory emphasizes three key themes: understanding 21st century megatrends including climate change, globalization, digital transformation, and societal violence; providing nations with self-defense capabilities; and securing populations against new global threats. Over 500 new products are unveiled at each edition, with dedicated startup showcases through Eurosatory LAB. The event serves military and government delegations, defense industry executives, procurement officials, research institutions, think tanks, and international organizations, offering matchmaking services, bilateral meeting programs, and extensive networking opportunities.
