The International Defence Buyer team has returned from Paris following a successful week at EUROSATORY 2026, where the publication attended as an Official International Media Partner to report on one of the world’s foremost international defence and security exhibitions.
Across five days, the team met with manufacturers, military organisations, industry associations and government representatives from around the world, conducting interviews and filming content while exploring the latest developments in defence technology. Discussions covered innovations across land, air, maritime, cyber and autonomous capabilities, with many exhibitors showcasing solutions shaped by operational experience and evolving defence requirements.
Alongside visiting international pavilions and meeting existing and prospective industry partners, the team attended live demonstrations featuring armoured vehicles, engineering equipment, weapons systems and specialist military platforms operating in realistic scenarios, providing valuable insight into the performance of modern defence technologies.
Innovation at the forefront
One of the defining themes throughout the exhibition was the pace of technological development. Artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, counter-UAS capabilities, secure communications and integrated battlefield technologies featured prominently, reflecting the sector’s continued focus on adapting to rapidly changing operational environments.
The exhibition also reinforced the value of collaboration between industry, armed forces and governments, bringing together organisations from across the global defence community to exchange ideas, strengthen partnerships and showcase future capabilities.
Looking ahead
At a time when nations continue to invest in modernisation and resilience, international exhibitions such as EUROSATORY remain an important platform for informed discussion, innovation and international cooperation. They provide defence professionals with an opportunity to evaluate emerging technologies, share expertise and develop relationships that support future capability development.
Over the coming weeks, International Defence Buyer will publish a series of exclusive interviews, technology features and industry insights recorded during the exhibition, offering readers direct perspectives from senior defence leaders, manufacturers and subject matter experts from across the global defence sector.
