Returning for its 12th edition this November, Defense & Security 2025 reaffirms Thailand’s role as ASEAN’s strategic hub for defense and security dialogue. Held biennially, the show has evolved into the region’s most influential tri-service defense and internal security exhibition. Taking place from 10–13 November 2025 at IMPACT Exhibition & Convention Center, Bangkok, the event continues to champion its founding vision, “The Power of Partnership,” by serving as a vital platform for international cooperation, technology exchange, and strategic alignment among global defense leaders.
Spanning land, air, sea, cyber, and space, the exhibition will showcase a full spectrum of next-generation capabilities: from advanced weapons, UAVs, and armored vehicles to naval and aerospace systems, cyber defense, and electronic warfare. Reflecting the evolving nature of conflict, special emphasis will be placed on space warfare and cybersecurity. The internal security segment will highlight surveillance systems, body armor, riot control, access management, and tactical gear, enabling agencies to address modern challenges. In 2025, the show will welcome leading companies from 45 countries and 28 national pavilions, each presenting their latest defense and security innovations.
Beyond the exhibition, Defense & Security 2025 offers unparalleled opportunities for dialogue, diplomacy, and high-level networking, anchored by an International Seminar addressing timely topics such as Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS) and governance. Complementing this, technical presentations and live demonstrations will provide in-depth discussions and real-time showcases on areas ranging from Modern Naval Warfare and Short-Range Air Defense (ShoRad) to the security aspects of space technology. To further enhance engagement, official luncheons, VIP tours, executive receptions, and G2G/G2B meetings will connect exhibitors directly with the region’s most influential defense and security decision-makers, reinforcing the show’s role as ASEAN’s premier platform for cooperation and strategic alignment.
