Germany's leading trade fair for security and defence
Messezentrum Nuremberg
Security can no longer be viewed in isolation. Emerging threats, technological advances, and geopolitical shifts require closer cooperation between security authorities, armed forces, policymakers, industry, and research institutions. Under the theme “Integrated Security for a Resilient Europe,” Enforce Tac addresses these developments and provides a platform for professional exchange on the security solutions of tomorrow.
Enforce Tac is the leading trade fair for security and defence in Germany. With more than 1,400 exhibitors from 45 countries and around 26,500 professional visitors from around the world, Enforce Tac 2026 set new standards. Trust forms the foundation of this dialogue. In the protected environment of Enforce Tac, resilient partnerships are formed among allies from the EU, NATO and close partner states. Through open discussions, strategic cooperation and the exchange of visionary ideas, new standards are set – for societal resilience, technological progress and the protection of our shared values.
The patronage of Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz underscores the importance of the leading trade fair as a central meeting point for the European security and defence community. It brings together decision-makers, procurement officials, manufacturers, developers, and innovators from government agencies, industry, business, and academia to discuss current challenges, showcase innovations, and initiate new partnerships. In doing so, Enforce Tac provides a framework for jointly addressing technological developments, operational requirements, and strategic issues.
Enforce Tac is a strictly access-controlled trade fair dedicated exclusively to stakeholders in the field of internal and external security. A rigorous verification process ensures that access is granted only to representatives of clearly defined security-relevant target groups.
At the same time, Enforce Tac provides a protected environment for professional exchange, networking and the presentation of security-relevant technologies. A general ban on photography and filming helps protect the identities of participants as well as sensitive content, reflecting the specific security requirements of its professional audience.
This deliberately sets Enforce Tac apart from more publicly accessible event formats: The focus is not on maximum visibility, but on the quality, relevance and security of professional exchange.
