DSEI Germany is the inaugural German edition of the world’s leading defense and security exhibition series, taking place March 9–12, 2027 at the Hannover Exhibition Grounds. The event connects European governments, military leadership, and industry across Air & Space, Land, Naval, and Cyber & Information sectors, offering direct access to key decision-makers including the German Ministry of Defense and Bundeswehr. As European defense spending accelerates, DSEI Germany presents a timely opportunity for California companies to establish early market presence and build lasting partnerships across the region.
