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.
EURO DEFENCE EXPO:
Against the backdrop of a rapidly evolving security landscape, the EUDEX Conference by CPM is placing a greater focus on one of the key capability gaps in European defence: the European Deep Strike Capability. The conference brings together decision-makers from the armed forces, politics and industry to address key issues relating to the European Deep Strike Capability.

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.
“With this collaboration, we are promoting dialog between the military and industry. We look forward to the opportunity to enter into discussions with relevant partners and to identify and integrate innovative solutions more quickly”, said Lieutenant Colonel André Haider from the Joint Air Power Competence Center (JAPCC).
