Why it matters

As Germany's first fully integrated defence exhibition, launched amid the Zeitenwende and a defence budget projected to reach EUR 180 billion by 2030, DSEI Germany offers suppliers direct access to the German MoD, Bundeswehr, European procurement authorities and international delegations in a single venue. A dedicated Newcomer Zone for German SMEs and start-ups plus regional and international pavilions make it a strategic market-entry platform for smaller and non-German firms seeking early positioning in a rapidly expanding market. Exhibiting at the inaugural edition allows companies to establish an early foothold before the show scales further.

About

DSEI Germany is the inaugural German edition of the DSEI (Defence & Security Equipment International) exhibition series, held for the first time on 9–12 March 2027 at the Messegelände Hannover. Organised by Deutsche Messe AG in partnership with the organisers of DSEI UK and DSEI Japan, it is structured around the domains and command architecture of the Bundeswehr, with zones covering Air & Space, Land, Naval, Cyber & Information, Joint Support Systems and industrial solutions. The show connects European governments, armed forces and industry to support capability development, procurement and cooperation.

Market intel

High pricingmedium confidence

DSEI Germany 2027 is the inaugural German edition of the DSEI series, expanded to a fourth hall (100,000 sqm indoor plus 25,000 sqm outdoor) after early demand filled the original three halls. Numbers such as ~25,000+ visitors and ~900+ exhibitors are anticipated/third-party projections rather than confirmed post-show figures, as no edition has yet taken place. Confirmed exhibitors include naval and land primes such as TKMS, Kongsberg and Rafael, alongside numerous German SMEs and international pavilions.

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.
