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.

About

Warsaw Security & Defence Expo is an integrated trade fair and conference block dedicated to security, defence and new technologies, held at Ptak Warsaw Expo near Warsaw. It combines three specialized projects — Drone World Expo (unmanned systems), Safety & Rescue Expo Poland (rescue, civil defence and crisis management) and Gun & Shooting Expo (civilian firearms and personal security) — alongside the Security & Defence Forum conference programme. The 2026 premiere edition covered defence technologies, UAVs, cybersecurity, critical infrastructure protection, communication systems and dual-use solutions.

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.

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.

As the flagship procurement and technology showcase of EMERCOM of Russia, the salon is the primary venue where Russian federal and regional authorities, state enterprises, and international emergency services evaluate and procure fire-rescue equipment, critical-infrastructure protection systems, and dual-use safety technologies. The 2026 edition's new regional rotation format and co-organisation with the Republic of Tatarstan opens access to Volga Federal District procurement networks and regional government buyers. For SMEs and startups in fire-tech, UAS, robotics, and CBRN protection, it is the most direct route to state customers and to international delegations from CIS, BRICS+, and partner countries.
