CBRN events

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.

The event offers direct access to allied governance through official NATO working group sessions (including Dismounted Soldier Systems groups) and NSPA user groups, where standards, user requirements, and procurement strategies are discussed. For SMEs and startups, the Innovation Pavilion and Defence Lab provide beneficial-rate access to operators, investors, and decision-makers from 70+ national delegations. Its Central European position and government patronage make it a practical entry point for suppliers targeting NATO and EU markets.

As the world's reference platform for internal/homeland security, Milipol Paris concentrates buyers from ministries, police, customs and defence agencies plus 160+ official delegations in one place, making it a prime lead-generation and export venue. For SMEs and startups, dedicated Newcomers Villages, the Milipol LAB and the Innovation Awards offer visibility to government and prime-contractor buyers that is otherwise hard to reach. The biennial cadence and strong international attendance make securing a stand a strategic decision for suppliers targeting security and dual-use markets.
