Why it matters
As Latin America's premier restricted-access defence and security trade fair, LAAD Security is the primary procurement and business-development gateway for the region's government buyers, police forces and armed forces — making it the single most important venue for defence suppliers and dual-use technology firms seeking contracts across Brazil and neighbouring markets.
- The structured official-delegations programme gives exhibitors direct, scheduled face-time with high-ranking decision-makers from dozens of countries.
- For SMEs and startups, the event's B2B negotiation format and public-security business rounds offer structured access to both federal buyers and prime-contractor networks.

About
LAAD Security Milipol Brazil 2026 is the largest homeland security and defence trade fair in Latin America, held at the Transamerica Expo Center in São Paulo over three days.

- The exhibition is restricted to accredited professionals and official delegations, and enjoys institutional backing from Brazil's Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Justice and Public Security, and federal, state and municipal security bodies.

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.
