Preparations for MSPO 2026 Gather Momentum: A meeting with the Deputy Minister of National Defence at Targi Kielce

14 August 2026
Targi Kielce recently hosted a working meeting with Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka, Deputy Minister of National Defence, focusing on preparations for the 34th International Defence Industry Exhibition (MSPO).

Discussions centered on key elements of this year’s MSPO programme. Details regarding the planned visit of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz were covered, alongside the opening ceremony scenario and special events arranged by the Ministry of National Defence. During her visit, the Deputy Minister also toured the new exhibition hall at the Kielce centre.

A major topic on the agenda included the scheduled contract and agreement signings. Traditionally a cornerstone of the International Defence Industry Exhibition MSPO event programme, these signings highlight the exhibition's pivotal role as a decision-making venue for the Polish defence sector.

Organised in close cooperation with the Ministry of National Defence, MSPO has maintained its position as one of Europe’s three most important defence industry trade shows for over three decades. The upcoming edition, set for 8–11 September 2026 at Targi Kielce, will bring together over 1,000 exhibitors from 40 countries. Polish Armaments Group (PGZ) serves as Strategic Partner for the event, with Canada taking on the role of Lead Nation.
