★ Eurosatory 2028 Paris — Defence Stand Builder · 3D Concept in 24h

Eurosatory 2026 takes place 15-19 June 2026 at Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre, France. Organised by COGES Events (a subsidiary of GICAT, the French defence industry association), Eurosatory is the world's largest international land and airland defence and security exhibition, with the 2024 edition registering 2,034 exhibitors from 62 countries and 62,000 trade visitors from 153 countries.

## Why Exhibit at Eurosatory 2026?

Eurosatory is the canonical European defence procurement event. The 2024 edition saw direct participation from the French DGA (Direction Générale de l'Armement), German BAAINBw, Italian Segredifesa and most European ministry-of-defence procurement bodies. The event runs in parallel with informal NATO-aligned procurement discussions, making it the highest-leverage 5-day window in the European defence calendar.

Specific buyer categories present: - European national armed forces (French Armée de Terre is institutional partner) - NATO procurement agencies and 50+ visiting national delegations - Defence ministries from Middle East, Africa, ASEAN - Large European defence primes: Thales, Airbus Defence, Rheinmetall, Leonardo, KMW - Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers across vehicle, weapons, optics, C4I, cyber - Homeland security agencies — police, border, civil protection

The biennial cadence means Eurosatory only happens every 2 years (next edition after 2026 is 2028). For exporters, missing Eurosatory means waiting 24 months for the same audience density.

## Hall Structure at Paris Nord Villepinte
