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.

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.

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.
