The global security order is facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, growing geopolitical tensions and the vulnerability of critical infrastructures are demanding an increased commitment to defence and security issues from Germany and other European countries.

DSEI Germany will showcase the modern military equipment, armaments, technologies, products, processes and materials required to ensure national defensive potential, the ability to meet alliance commitments and geopolitical security. The event will support industrial companies and their suppliers to meet the increasing demand brought about by the 'Zeitenwende', the turning point which is transforming Germany’s defence policy.

The security policy priorities of NATO and the EU will form the basis of the debate, with military leaders and civilian decisionmakers discussing strategic defence issues and opportunities for partnerships.

Following the historic 'Trinity House' agreement between the UK and Germany, with the aim of deepening security and defence cooperation between the two countries, DSEI Germany aims to provide a forum for consolidating and expanding partnerships and alliances both within Europe and worldwide, while promoting cooperation in security policy.

Today's defence requirements are becoming increasingly complex and demand comprehensive, networked solutions in all areas of the modern army. The trade fair looks to offer industry partners a platform to present capabilities and technologies tailored to respective military requirements.

DSEI Germany is receiving support from Germany's Federal Ministry of Defence and Bundeswehr. Boris Pistorius, the Federal Minister of Defence said: "The turning point in Germany's defence policy not only requires us to reorientate our defence strategy but also calls for technological and industrial capabilities to be promoted in a targeted manner.

"DSEI Germany can provide Germany with an important platform to demonstrate its defence capabilities, technological leadership and innovative strength on the international stage.”

Olaf Lies, Lower Saxony's Minister of Economic Affairs, said: “The announcement of DSEI Germany is an important signal for Lower Saxony as an important industrial location. After all, the view of the defence industry has changed fundamentally, not least as a result of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine. In view of the current geopolitical challenges, the importance of close cooperation between industry, research and politics to develop new solutions for the security and defence capabilities of Germany and Europe is more evident than ever. Our security and resilience are directly linked to the operational readiness and capabilities of our armed forces. 
 
"Hannover as the location of this new leading trade fair not only strengthens our defence industry but also numerous suppliers and partners who play a key role in the value chain. Lower Saxony is an important location for industry in Germany and it is therefore only logical that Deutsche Messe AG is also involved in this sector and makes a decisive contribution to networking the industry. 
 
"The Zeitenwende described by Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz requires us as a society to set the right course for the business location. DSEI Germany offers a platform on which strategies, innovations and new partnerships can be established in order to meet the challenges of our time with combined forces. The fact that we in Lower Saxony are hosting this event, shows that we are prepared to take responsibility here.”
 
Chris Gallon, CEO, EMEA for DSEI said: “DSEI is a long established and respected brand in the defence and security sector and has a strong reputation for delivering events of outstanding value for the global audience we serve at both DSEI in London and Tokyo. DSEI Germany presents a key opportunity to bring the domestic industry together with its allies and partners to demonstrate capability and concepts.”
 
Dr Jochen Köckler, CEO of Deutsche Messe AG said: “No other trade fair company has a national and international political network that can match that of Deutsche Messe. Together with the DSEI team and in combination with our modern premises which have a long track record of hosting world-class industrial trade fairs, we can wield our strengths in a targeted manner to make an important contribution toward strengthening security in Germany and elsewhere in Europe."
