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.
