DSEI Germany Hanover

DSEI Germany – the International Trade Fair for Advanced Defence and Security Technologies – takes place biennially, bringing together leading companies, innovators and decision-makers to showcase the latest military equipment, technologies and services. The exhibition serves as a central platform for strengthening defence capability, alliance cohesion and geopolitical security.

The focus of the event is on state-of-the-art military hardware, defence systems, technologies, products, as well as innovative processes and materials that are critical to national security and the stability of international alliances. Companies and institutions from the aerospace, naval, land forces and cybersecurity sectors present their latest developments and solutions.

A particular highlight is the combination of indoor exhibition space within the modern exhibition halls and live demonstrations across the extensive outdoor grounds. This allows products not only to be displayed, but also tested under realistic operating conditions.

DSEI Germany is strictly a trade-only event, open exclusively to professional visitors: government representatives, senior military officials, security agencies, suppliers and research and development specialists. This targeted audience ensures high-level, substantive professional exchange.

The exhibition grounds in Hanover are among the most modern and expansive of their kind worldwide. With over 450,000 square metres of exhibition space, excellent infrastructure and superb transport links, the venue provides ideal conditions for an event of this scale. Its central location in both Germany and Europe also makes Hanover exceptionally accessible for international visitors.

With its distinctive combination of international reach, innovative strength and practical orientation, DSEI Germany is rapidly becoming an essential fixture in the global defence and security industry calendar. It is here that the sector’s leading figures convene to actively shape the future of security and defence.

The first edition and therefore the premiere of the DSEI Germany takes place on 4 days from Tue., 09.03.2027 to Fri., 12.03.2027 in Hanover.
