Market intel
Moderate pricinglow confidence
The 2026 premiere was dominated by Polish and regional SMEs across drone, rescue and firearms segments rather than large primes, with exhibitors such as EUMOTORS (BLDC motors) and DRON.edu.pl (UAV training).
- A named full exhibitor roster of major defence primes was not confirmed in available sources.
- Reported figures vary slightly by source (nearly 300 to 362 exhibitors; ~50,000–60,000 sqm), so exhibitor detail should be treated cautiously.

Why it matters
The premiere 2026 edition drew over 25,000 visitors and 360+ exhibitors, signalling strong demand for a Central-and-Eastern-European security and defence platform at a time of heightened Polish defence spending.
- Its integrated drone, rescue and firearms tracks plus a substantive conference give SMEs and startups direct access to uniformed services, public administration and R&D institutions such as Łukasiewicz.
- Ministry of National Defence patronage and attendance by senior decision-makers make it a relevant procurement and networking venue for dual-use suppliers.

Annual Meeting of the Supply Chain
Lévis / Canada
This is the primary procurement-facing event for Quebec's naval supply chain, where federal ministers have used the platform to announce National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS) contracts and submarine procurement updates — making it a critical intelligence touchpoint for any company seeking Davie, Royal Canadian Navy, or Canadian Coast Guard business. With ~750 participants and ~65 exhibitors, it is compact enough for SMEs and startups to gain direct access to prime contractors such as Chantier Davie and Thales Canada. Pre-scheduled B2B meetings with national and international outsourcers give exhibitors a structured path to new contracts.
