Corporate trip to Paris: Defense and security industry

France is a leading market in Europe due to its rapidly growing budget in the areas of security and defense. As the world's second-largest arms exporter, France offers German suppliers and dual-use providers excellent sales and cooperation opportunities. This creates a wide range of market possibilities for NRW companies in the defense and armaments sector. With this in mind, NRW.Global Business is organizing a corporate trip to Paris.

From June 15 to 17, 2026, participants will gain first-hand market insights. They will have the opportunity to network with professionals in the French security and defense industry and discuss new technologies. A highlight of the trip will be a visit to Eurosatory. With numerous national pavilions and an extensive conference program, the trade fair covers a wide range of topics.

The varied program includes networking events with high-ranking French associations, companies, and research institutes relevant to the industry, facilitating professional exchange. The program is rounded off with visits to relevant companies and presentations of selected German-French cooperation projects.
