The whole world of security in one place
The security landscape is changing rapidly: civil and military security aspects are moving closer together and require innovative solutions. In this dynamic environment, we are presenting a completely new trade fair format in Germany: the EURO DEFENCE EXPO (EUDEX), linked to the renowned security essen , the leading trade fair for civil security.
The two parallel shows will create a new platform that integrates civil and military security technologies and involves all relevant partners. The EUDEX actively promotes the exchange between politics, industry and users of military security technology at European level and also involves a partner country.
From 22 to 25 September 2026, MESSE ESSEN in Germany will host the premiere edition of the Euro Defence Expo (EUDEX) – a new international trade fair dedicated to the full spectrum of modern defence and security technologies. Strategically positioned in the heart of Europe and held in parallel with Security Essen and the NATO JAPCC Conference, EUDEX 2026 offers a unique setting for industry, institutions, and international partners to connect, collaborate and shape the future of defence.
