Why visit
Euronaval is the meeting point for naval defence procurement: the 2026 edition at Paris Nord Villepinte brings together weapons and combat system suppliers, command and communication system specialists, and maritime platform builders on one exhibition floor. Visitors can follow the official 2026 conferences programme, which addresses operational and technological challenges in naval warfare, and use on-site business meetings to hold detailed technical discussions with primes, systems integrators and component suppliers. The exhibitor list, including firms such as Naval Group, Thales and HGH Systemes Infrarouges, lets delegations pre-screen suppliers across combat management, naval communications and optronics before travelling.
Why exhibit
Exhibiting at Euronaval 2026 puts a company in front of naval procurement agencies, prime contractors and systems integrators that attend the Paris Nord Villepinte show to review weapons, combat and communication systems for naval operations. The organiser runs a dedicated sponsorship programme (euronaval.com/exhibition/become-a-sponsor/) and exhibitor onboarding page (euronaval.com/become-an-exhibitor/), giving suppliers visibility inside a defence-sector audience rather than a general engineering crowd. With conference sessions on combat management systems and naval communications running alongside the halls, exhibitors can align product launches and technical briefings with the themes delegates come to discuss.
