Defence events in Chile

SeguridadExpo is the primary commercial gateway for security technology vendors seeking access to Chilean and broader Latin American government, law-enforcement, and critical-infrastructure buyers — including the armed forces, Carabineros, and municipal authorities. The co-organization with Carabineros de Chile and the presence of cabinet-level ministers give exhibitors direct access to procurement decision-makers in a single venue. For SMEs and startups, the minimum 9 m² turnkey booth format and a growing congress programme lower the barrier to market entry in a rapidly expanding regional security market.

ExpoNaval is the only comprehensive naval and maritime defence trade show in Latin America, making it the primary gateway for global primes and SMEs seeking access to the region's navy procurement programmes, including Chile's newly launched Continuous National Shipbuilding Plan. The structured delegation-meeting agenda — with admirals and commanders-in-chief from across the region — provides direct access to uniformed decision-makers that is rare outside major global shows. The 2026 move to Santiago amplifies political and commercial reach, attracting a wider pool of government and private-sector buyers.

FIDAE is the dominant gateway to the Latin American aerospace and defence market, attracting hundreds of official and professional delegations from across the Americas and beyond, giving suppliers direct access to regional procurement decision-makers. Its biennial cadence and broad government backing make it the primary venue for announcing platform sales, MRO contracts, and technology partnerships in the Southern Hemisphere. SMEs and startups benefit from dedicated innovation forums and the concentrated presence of prime contractors, investors, and air force commanders from across the continent.
