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.

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.

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.
