Why it matters

CMPE Shenzhen is one of China's largest dedicated military-police equipment expos, directly connecting suppliers with procurement decision-makers from the PLA, People's Armed Police, public security bureaus, and emergency management agencies — making it the primary gateway for domestic and foreign vendors seeking access to Chinese government and law-enforcement buyers.

  • For SMEs and technology companies in counter-UAS, surveillance, soldier systems, and emergency response, the expo offers direct product demonstration opportunities and procurement leads in a market that is otherwise difficult to penetrate.
  • The event's co-organizers include state defence-industrial conglomerates (CASIC, CASC, AVIC, CSSC, NORINCO Group), giving exhibitors rare visibility with institutional end-users and state-owned enterprise buyers.

About

The China (Shenzhen) International Military, Police, Anti-Terrorism and Emergency Equipment Expo (CMPE) is an annual professional trade exhibition focused on public security, law enforcement, counter-terrorism, and emergency response equipment.

  • Now in its 11th edition, the expo covers tactical gear, body armor, counter-UAS systems, bomb disposal, forensic investigation tools, military training simulators, and disaster emergency response technologies across approximately 30,000 square metres.
  • It is organized with the backing of China's major state defence-industrial groups and public security authorities, and serves as a key procurement and technology-exchange platform for Chinese and international military, police, fire, and emergency sectors.
  • The event is held annually in Shenzhen, with a parallel Beijing edition held mid-year.

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.
