MSPO – A Strategic Platform for Global Defense Development
MSPO is the largest defense trade fair in Central and Eastern Europe, attracting military sector leaders from around the world for years. It is also a prestigious meeting platform for government representatives, defense ministers, military staff delegations, and embassies, serving as a key forum for security dialogue. The fair provides an excellent opportunity to establish international business relationships and explore trends shaping the future of the defense industry.
Showcasing the latest achievements of global defense leaders
MSPO is also the venue for world premieres and innovations that set the direction of modern defense development. Every September at Targi Kielce, the most advanced defense systems, military technologies, and defense projects are presented. Traditionally, the fair is accompanied by the Polish Armed Forces Exhibition.
The long-term success of the International Defense Industry Exhibition is co-created by the Ministry of National Defense and Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa – the Strategic Partner of the fair.
Strategic contracts and agreements
MSPO is not just an exhibition – it is also a place where key decisions for the future of the defense sector are made. During the fair, contracts, letters of intent, and cooperation agreements are signed between government representatives, armed forces, and major defense corporations.
Prestigious awards and recognitions
The best products presented at MSPO are honored with the prestigious DEFENDER awards. Other significant recognitions are also presented, including the President of Poland’s Award, the Special Award of the Minister of National Defense, and the Special Award of the Minister of Development.
A platform for knowledge and experience exchange
MSPO is not only an impressive showcase of equipment and technology but also features a rich substantive program. The fair hosts numerous conferences, panels, and debates with participation from administration, military, academia, and industry representatives. Here, science, business, and the armed forces jointly shape the development directions of the defense sector.
