AED Cluster Portugal will be attending Eurosatory 2026, a leading international defence event taking place from 15 to 19 June in Paris. This participation reinforces AED’s role as the national cluster for the aeronautics, space and defence industries and as a platform linking the Portuguese ecosystem with the sector’s key international partners.
As part of the Portuguese presence at the fair, AED Cluster Portugal will be located in Hall 5B, Stand C286, represented by Rui Santos, Director-General, and Raul Lourenço, Defence Manager, who will be on site throughout the event for meetings, institutional contacts and networking opportunities with international partners.
Eurosatory stands as a strategic meeting point for companies, institutions, military bodies and international organisations linked to the defence sector. The 2026 edition provides an opportunity to monitor trends relevant to the evolution of the defence industrial and technological base, against a backdrop of growing international cooperation and the transformation of industrial capabilities.
AED Cluster Portugal’s presence at this trade fair helps to raise the profile of national expertise, support the integration of Portuguese industry into global value chains, and promote new opportunities for industrial cooperation. In an international context characterised by technological transformation and the growing importance of the defence industrial base, participation in leading events such as Eurosatory enables us to strengthen relationships with strategic partners and keep abreast of priorities for the sector.
This participation in Eurosatory 2026 forms part of AED Cluster Portugal’s ongoing monitoring of the main international agendas in the defence sector.
