Defence & Security Equipment International (DSEi) Hanover

From 2027, Hanover will become a pivotal center for the global defense and security sector as the Defence & Security Equipment International (DSEI) Germany opens its doors at the Deutsche Messe exhibition grounds. Every two years, leading companies, innovators, and decision-makers will showcase state-of-the-art military equipment, technologies, and services. The trade fair serves as a key platform for strengthening defense capabilities, alliance resilience, and geopolitical security.

DSEI Germany is organized in close partnership with the renowned DSEI London. This collaboration combines the extensive experience and global network of the London event with the modern infrastructure and innovative spirit of Hanover's exhibition venue. The event is hosted by Deutsche Messe AG in cooperation with DSEI London.

The exhibition focuses on advanced military equipment, defense systems, technologies, products, and innovative processes and materials that are critical to national security and the stability of international alliances. Companies and institutions from the fields of aviation, naval forces, land defense, and cybersecurity will present their latest developments and solutions.

A standout feature of DSEI Germany is the combination of indoor exhibition spaces within modern halls and live demonstrations in the expansive outdoor areas. This allows products to be not only displayed but also tested under realistic conditions.

DSEI Germany is strictly limited to professional attendees, including government representatives, military decision-makers, security authorities, suppliers, and experts in research and development. This targeted audience ensures an intensive and highly specialized exchange of ideas and knowledge.

The Hanover exhibition grounds rank among the largest and most modern facilities of their kind globally. With over 450,000 square meters of exhibition space, excellent infrastructure, and optimal transport connections, they provide ideal conditions for an event of this magnitude. Centrally located in Germany and Europe, Hanover is easily accessible to international visitors.

With its unique combination of international reach, innovation, and practical application, DSEI Germany is poised to quickly become an essential event on the global defense and security industry calendar. It is where the leading minds of the sector will gather to actively shape the future of security and defense.
