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. Born from a strategic partnership between Creative Events Brazil and the international Milipol network, it brings together national and international companies providing technologies, equipment and services for public security, police forces, armed forces, special forces, law enforcement, and critical infrastructure operators. 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.

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.

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.
