Why it matters
Poland is a frontline NATO state rapidly scaling its drone procurement and C-UAS capabilities, making Warsaw an increasingly strategic market for UAS suppliers targeting defence and dual-use contracts in Central and Eastern Europe. Co-location with the broader Warsaw Security & Defence Expo block gives exhibitors direct access to uniformed services, government procurement representatives, and defence-adjacent buyers in a single venue. For SMEs and startups, the event's relatively low entry costs and regional profile offer a cost-efficient route to the Polish and wider CEE market before competing at larger global shows.
About
Drone World Expo is Poland's annual trade fair dedicated to drone and unmanned systems technology, held at Ptak Warsaw Expo — the largest trade fair centre in Poland. The 2027 edition is the second instalment and runs concurrently within the broader Warsaw Security & Defence Expo block alongside Safety & Rescue Expo Poland and Gun & Shooting Expo. Exhibitors present solutions spanning industrial inspection drones, surveying and photogrammetry UAVs, FPV platforms with military applications, Urban Air Mobility (UAM), Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM), and AI-driven UAS. The event programme includes the Drone Industry Summit conference, expert panels, and live technology demonstrations.
Market intel
Moderate pricingmedium confidence
Drone World Expo is a young (first edition 2026) Polish UAS trade fair embedded in the larger Warsaw Security & Defence Expo block, drawing over 150 exhibitors in its debut year with a mix of Polish and international drone manufacturers, integrators and service operators. Named exhibitors and speakers are drawn primarily from third-party listings, so the exhibitor roster confidence is limited. Attendance and floor-space figures for the specific event have not been officially published.
