Eurosatory has established itself as the global reference event in the defense and security sector for land and aerospace operations. Organized every two years at the Paris-Nord Villepinte Exhibition Center, this professional exhibition brings together key international players from the military, industrial, and crisis management fields.
Launched in 1967, Eurosatory has grown to become the largest trade fair of its kind worldwide. The 2024 edition attracted more than 2,000 exhibitors from 61 countries, 334 official delegations from 93 nations, and over 75,000 professional visitors from around the globe. The next edition, Eurosatory 2026, will take place from June 15 to June 19, 2026 at the same venue in Villepinte, near Paris.
The fair is strictly reserved for professionals: manufacturers, technology companies, startups, government representatives, armed forces, security bodies, international institutions, and non-governmental organizations. It is not open to the general public.
Eurosatory showcases a wide range of products and solutions, spanning from raw materials to complete operational systems, including:

- Cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and space solutions
- Protection, surveillance, and crisis management equipment
The event stands out for its live demonstrations, high-level conferences, and networking opportunities that facilitate exchanges between industry, governments, and experts.

Organization
Eurosatory is organized by COGES Events, a subsidiary of the French Defense and Security Industries Group (GICAT). It is supported by the French Ministry of Defense and serves as a key platform for discussions on responsible defense and security for the future.
In a geopolitical context marked by high-intensity conflicts, hybrid threats, and humanitarian and environmental crises, Eurosatory serves as an essential meeting point to analyze common challenges and explore technological and strategic solutions tailored to the needs of the 21st century.
