Today the world faces a wide range of conflicts, terrorist threats and emergencies that increasingly intensify. In the light of this, states and private citizens need defence and security solutions to ensure peace, safety and stability.
Eurosatory is the leading international land and airland Defence and Security exhibition that will be held from June 11 to 15, 2018 at the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre. In 2016, it gathered 1,571 exhibitors, 212 Official Delegations, 57,024 international visitors and 700 journalists from all over the world.
