Why it matters

As the largest defence and security fair in Brazil and one of the most important in Latin America, Mostra BID Brasil offers direct access to procurement decision-makers from the Brazilian Armed Forces, public security agencies, and foreign delegations with purchasing power.

  • For SMEs and startups in the BIDS ecosystem, it is the primary national platform to gain visibility with government buyers, attract investors, and forge export partnerships via the Brazil Defense / ApexBrasil programme.
  • The Brasília location — home to all three military commands, 131 embassies, and key ministries — maximises institutional reach in a single three-day window.

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.

Milipol Qatar

Doha / Qatar

Milipol Qatar is the only dedicated homeland security trade show in the Middle East, giving defence and security suppliers direct access to Qatari Ministry of Interior procurement decisions — QAR 842 million in contracts were signed at the 2024 edition alone. The event's official delegations programme (360 delegations from 42 countries in 2024) provides unmatched access to government buyers and military end-users across the Gulf, Near East, and Asia. For SMEs and startups, national pavilions (France, Germany, Italy, North America, Czech Republic, China in 2024) offer a cost-effective route to market entry in one of the world's fastest-growing security markets.
