European Commissioner for Defence and Space Andrius Kubilius will speak at Estonian Defence Week 2026 this September in Tallinn, where European defence leaders, policymakers, military officials and industry representatives will gather to discuss Europe’s defence readiness, industrial scaling and security challenges.

“We currently face massive challenges to Europe’s security – Russia’s continued war of aggression against Ukraine, the Iran war threatens the Southern and Mediterranean countries. At the same time our transatlantic allies are asking us to take more responsibility for Europe’s defence,” said Kubilius ahead of the event.

One of Europe’s leading defence technology companies, Diehl Defence will join Estonian Defence Week 2026 as an exhibitor. At EDW, the company will showcase advanced counter-UAS technologies, including the GARMR System, the Sky Sphere System and the modular GUARDION C-UAS system.

Diehl Defence is a leading system house for state-of-the-art air defence systems as well as high-tech guided missiles, innovative ammunition solutions (including guided ammunition), and special reconnaissance and protection systems such as C-UAS systems.

Eesti juhtiv kaitsetehnoloogia ettevõte Threod Systems toob EDW 2026 programmis välja oma uusimad arendused.

Juba suvel lansseerib Threod Systems uue mehitamata süsteemi, mis muudab seni vaid suurte platvormide pärusmaaks olnud täppislöögi lasersihitamise võimalikuks ka kergetelt platvormidelt. See teeb lahenduse oluliselt kättesaadavamaks ja laialdasemalt kasutatavaks ka väiksema koosseisuga üksustele. Terviksüsteemi maksumus võib olla kordades soodsam võrreldes seni kasutusel olnud suuremate süsteemidega.

The NATO Open Innovation Conference & Expo (NOICE), hosted by NATO Allied Command Transformation (ACT), will take place in Tallinn as part of Estonian Defence Week (EDW) 2026.

NOICE 2026 will serve as a focused platform for NATO entities, Allied nations, industry, researchers and military end-users to engage on emerging defence technologies, operational innovation and rapid capability adoption in an increasingly complex security environment.

More than half of the exhibition space for Estonian Defence Week 2026 (EDW) has already been sold, signalling strong early demand for one of the region’s largest defence industry gatherings.

This year’s edition will once again feature major international players such as Saab and Airbus, alongside a strong presence of Estonian defence innovators. Milrem Robotics, the world’s leading robotics and autonomous systems developer, joins as a sponsor, while Frankenburg Technologies will participate as an exhibitor. 

Milrem Robotics, maailma juhtiv robootika ja autonoomsete süsteemide arendaja, toetab tänavuse Estonian Defence Weeki toimumist ürituse sponsorina.

Milrem Robotics ootab ürituselt sisukaid arutelusid ja uusi praktilisi koostöövõimalusi liitlaste, kaitsetööstuse ja avaliku sektori vahel. EDW peamine väärtus seisneb Milremi jaoks võimaluses tutvustada oma tooteid täpselt valitud publikule, et veelgi tugevdada ettevõtte rahvusvahelisi partnerlussuhteid.

Septembris toimub järjekordne Estonian Defence Week (EDW), korraldajateks Eesti Kaitse- ja Kosmosetööstuse Liit (EKTL) koos Kaitseministeeriumi, Rahvusvahelise Kaitseuuringute Keskuse (RKK) ning teadus- ja ärilinnakuga Tehnopol.

EDW esmaüritus toimus läinud aastal. Rahvusvaheliste eksponentide seas olid juba toona mitmed üleilmsed tegijad, nagu näiteks Airbus, BlackBerry ja Saab.
