3rd June 2026, Hannover, Germany – Following unprecedented industry demand, DSEI Germany has announced the opening of a fourth exhibition hall ahead of its debut in March 2027. DSEI Germany will be the leading exhibition for defence and security in Germany, featuring defence manufacturers, industrial suppliers, and emerging players from every level of the supply chain.
Taking place from 9-12 March 2027 at the Hannover Exhibition Grounds – Europe’s largest exhibition venue – the opening of another hall expands DSEI Germany’s indoor footprint to 100,000 square metres, alongside a further 25,000 square metres of outdoor display space, together covering an area equivalent to 18 football pitches.
DSEI Germany comes at a pivotal moment for Europe’s defence, security, and strategic autonomy. With Germany’s annual defence budget set to rise to €180 billion by 2030, the show will support Germany, Europe, and NATO’s strategic priorities while creating opportunities for dialogue between military and political leadership and industry.
With nine months until the inaugural edition of DSEI Germany, exhibition space in the original three halls was at capacity. The expansion into a fourth hall will accommodate greater representation across Air & Space, Land, Naval, and Cyber & Information.
The expansion also comes as the Federation of German Security and Defence Industries (BDSV) is confirmed as an industry partner. BDSV represents the collective interests of the German security and defence industries. The trade association supports over 400 companies and serves as a bridge between industry, the Federal Ministry of Defence, Bundeswehr, policymakers, institutions, and media.
“DSEI Germany’s decision to open an additional exhibition hall follows unprecedented demand from industry for a German defence and security exhibition that showcases military capability, industrial innovation, digital technologies, and new market entrants on an international stage”, said Bernd Kögel, Managing Director of DSEI Germany.
He added, “DSEI Germany aims to support NATO’s European members achieve greater independence in their ability to deter, and if necessary, defeat, an adversary. The response from industry is a clear sign of confidence in Europe’s defence and security sectors and the continent’s ability to scale up its industrial capacity and capability development”.
