Africa International Defence Exhibition (AFRIDEX)

As the premier security marketplace in the Asia-Pacific region, this event is the primary venue for global security suppliers to launch products into the Australian market and engage directly with integrators, consultants, government buyers, and critical-infrastructure end users. The co-location with Integrate and Fire Security Expo expands the addressable buyer pool to ~14,500 professionals across converging physical, cyber, fire, and AV sectors. For SMEs and startups, it is the most cost-efficient route to the Australian security procurement community, with free visitor registration and a sold-out floor plan signalling strong buyer intent.

Xi'an hosts China's densest concentration of state-owned defense primes and research institutes, making this expo one of the few accessible venues in western China where suppliers can engage directly with aerospace, ordnance, and defense-electronics procurement chains. For SMEs and dual-use technology firms, the military-civil integration forums and project roadshow sessions provide structured pathways into PLA and state-enterprise supply chains. The event's scale — targeting 50,000+ professional visitors and 1,500+ exhibitors — and its government guidance from provincial defense-industry authorities signal genuine procurement and partnership intent rather than a purely promotional showcase.

As the flagship procurement and technology showcase of EMERCOM of Russia, the salon is the primary venue where Russian federal and regional authorities, state enterprises, and international emergency services evaluate and procure fire-rescue equipment, critical-infrastructure protection systems, and dual-use safety technologies. The 2026 edition's new regional rotation format and co-organisation with the Republic of Tatarstan opens access to Volga Federal District procurement networks and regional government buyers. For SMEs and startups in fire-tech, UAS, robotics, and CBRN protection, it is the most direct route to state customers and to international delegations from CIS, BRICS+, and partner countries.
