EURODEF 2025 will span two weeks, from March 17 to April 2, 2025, starting with virtual B2B meetings from March 17–31, followed by an in-person closing day on April 2 in Toulon.

Building on the success of EURODEF 2024, which attracted 314 participants from 21 countries and facilitated over 1,000 B2B meetings, EURODEF 2025 aims to bring together defence and security SMEs, major European defence groups, and other SMEs to showcase technologies and foster collaborations.

In addition to B2B meetings, participants will enjoy informal networking opportunities on April 2, including a conviviality zone and a networking buffet. Registration also provides access to the ENDR conference on Maintenance in the Defence Sector, running concurrently.

This is a unique opportunity to connect with EDTIB companies, share expertise, and explore new partnerships in the defence industry.
