Waarom deelnemen aan BEDEX?
BEDEX is a leading event that brings together professionals and interested citizens around themes of security, defence and technological innovation.
The event combines a business component – focused on B2B: suppliers, governments, international delegations and research – with a public-oriented segment in which technologies and applications are shown interactively.
The fair will take place in Brussels, a strategic hub for European defence and security chains. The program includes conferences, live demonstrations, start-up village, pitch sessions and career-related zones, giving participants an understanding of contemporary issues such as cyber-crime, autonomous systems, dual-use technologies and international cooperation.
In previous years, an upward trend has been visible in profiling and participation, partly prompted by the growing attention to technological resilience and geopolitical shifts.
BEDEX is therefore an essential platform for those active in the security or defence sector and for those who want to broadly orient themselves on the future of technology, security and society.
