Three months before opening its doors, Eurosatory 2026 is already fully booked, a sign of the scale and urgency of the current defence and security landscape. Bringing together states, armed forces, security services, manufacturers and innovators, Eurosatory continues to serve as a central forum where strategic priorities, industrial capabilities and emerging solutions converge. As governments accelerate rearmament programmes and industries race to adapt to fast-moving technologies, the world’s leading defence and security exhibition is set for a landmark edition.
Eurosatory 2026 is also seeing a sharp rise in stand bookings, with more than 2,100 individual exhibitors registered to date from 64 countries, 500 more than for the 2024 edition. The exhibition will feature 38 international pavilions and 15 institutional pavilions, reflecting the breadth and structured nature of the global defence and security ecosystem. Countries with the largest representation include Germany (199 exhibitors), the United States (144), Italy (67) and the United Kingdom (65). This year, first-time participants include Chile, Vietnam, Malta, Uzbekistan and Liechtenstein. Two-thirds of registered exhibitors were already present in 2024, underlining strong sector loyalty.
The 2026 edition also marks a milestone with the opening of Hall 4, bringing total exhibition space to more than 185,000 m², with all four halls now fully booked. Almost all of the technology clusters are represented, including drones and robotics, cybersecurity and information systems, optics and optronics, CBRNe, simulation and training, engineering and manufacturing, infrastructure security and logistics support.
Eurosatory 2026 will present solutions across the full land and air-land spectrum, including drones ranging from MALE to FPV and autonomous systems, counter-missile and counter-UAV capabilities, command, communications and cybersecurity systems, ground, aerial and maritime vehicles, weapons, munitions and personal protection, as well as detection, simulation and logistics technologies, and civil protection and crisis management solutions.
The Eurosatory Lab will serve as the event’s innovation hub, bringing together around 60 international start-ups from 14 countries, particularly in artificial intelligence, robotics, cybersecurity, advanced sensors and energy technologies.
