BEDEX 2026 will be held on 12 and 13 March 2026 as trade days dedicated exclusively to defense and security professionals, followed by a public day on 14 March 2026. The exhibition is structured as a multi-domain defense event covering land, air, naval, and joint capabilities. Its scope includes armored vehicles, artillery systems, air defense solutions, unmanned platforms, command-and-control architectures, and naval systems, as well as emerging domains such as cyber defense, space-enabled capabilities, and digitalized battlefield networking. The event is designed to highlight operationally relevant equipment and technologies aligned with current military requirements.
The strategic relevance of BEDEX 2026 is closely linked to its location in Brussels, home to the headquarters of NATO and key institutions of the European Union, including the European Commission. By situating the exhibition within this institutional environment, the organizers aim to facilitate direct interaction between defense manufacturers, armed forces representatives, procurement authorities, policymakers, and multinational organizations involved in capability development and industrial coordination. In this respect, BEDEX 2026 is positioned not merely as a commercial trade show, but as a platform for strategic dialogue reflecting NATO standards and European defense priorities.
In a context characterized by sustained increases in European defense spending, accelerated modernization programs, and a renewed emphasis on interoperability and deterrence, BEDEX 2026 is expected to serve as a forum for high-level exchanges on operational requirements, procurement strategies, and industrial partnerships. The exhibition is intended to complement the established European defense exhibition calendar while reinforcing Brussels’ role as a central hub for transatlantic and European defense cooperation.

With press accreditation now open and media registration underway, BEDEX 2026 enters a new phase of preparation, positioning itself as a defense event of significant interest within the NATO and European industrial landscape in 2026.
