The whole world of security in one place

The security landscape is changing rapidly: civil and military security aspects are moving closer together and require innovative solutions. In this dynamic environment, we are presenting a completely new trade fair format in Germany: the EURO DEFENCE EXPO (EUDEX), linked to the renowned security essen , the leading trade fair for civil security.

The two parallel shows will create a new platform that integrates civil and military security technologies and involves all relevant partners. The EUDEX actively promotes the exchange between politics, industry and users of military security technology at European level and also involves a partner country.

Strong cooperation partners: The high-caliber annual conference of the NATO Joint Air Power Competence Centre (JAPCC) will take place at Messe Essen at the same time as EUDEX. This brings together over 400 high-ranking military representatives from the 32 NATO member nations and offers a unique opportunity for strategic dialog. The close dovetailing of the events creates valuable synergies between industry and the military and enables a targeted exchange with decision-makers.

Lieutenant Colonel André Haider from the Joint Air Power Competence Center (JAPCC)
With the EURO DEFENCE EXPO, Messe Essen is sending out the right signal for our times. The German defense industry is firmly anchored among the world leaders, it is efficient and highly innovative. The Russian war of aggression has once again made it clear that the German defense industry must be part of our country's security architecture. I am delighted that we in Germany are now taking account of this outstanding strategic importance of our industry with our own armaments trade fair.
Andreas Schnautz, Chief Financial Officer of H&K AG and Commercial Managing Director of Heckler & Koch GmbH
In view of the current threat situation, we need to rethink protection and security. With the combination of EURO DEFENCE EXPO and security essen, we have therefore developed a unique, highly exciting trade fair format consisting of a military and civilian exhibition plus an accompanying conference. This will enable our society to position itself strongly for the challenges of the future.
Oliver P. Kuhrt, CEO of Messe Essen
Together with security essen, the EURO DEFENCE EXPO focuses on national defense. This approach is unique in Europe. The planning and implementation of the associated congress is the core business of cpmTEAMS. As a specialist publisher for defense, security and military medicine, we also take a holistic view of the areas of security and defense. I am convinced thatEURO DEFENCE EXPO will be successful and establish itself in the community. We are a proud partner and look forward to a successful collaboration.
