Why it matters

As Poland's first trade fair focused exclusively on drones and counter-UAS systems, DSE gives suppliers, SMEs and startups direct access to Polish uniformed services, military, critical-infrastructure managers and energy/telecom operators at a time of heightened regional demand for C-UAS capability. The event's live demonstration zones and decision-maker networking offer a practical route to test products and reach procurement-relevant buyers. Its debut status makes it a lower-cost early-mover opportunity in a fast-growing Central European security market.

About

DRONE SECURITY EXPO (DSE) is the premiere edition of an international trade fair in Poland dedicated to drone technologies and counter-UAS (anti-drone) systems, held at EXPO Kraków on 7-8 October 2026. The exhibition covers the full spectrum from industrial, rescue and agricultural drones to advanced anti-drone systems, detection radars and command solutions. The programme includes live demonstrations such as BVLOS flights, drone-neutralization simulations and equipment testing in designated zones, alongside expert conferences, workshops and debates. It targets drone manufacturers, security-system suppliers, service operators, uniformed services and representatives of key economic sectors.

Security Exhibition & Conference

Sydney / Australia

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.

China (Xi'an) Advanced Manufacturing and Digital Industry Expo & Defense Science and Technology Industry Expo

Xi'an / China

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.
