European Professional Trade Show for Drones
Defense and Dual
Palais 2 l’Atlantique in Bordeaux
That’s a wrap for UAV Show 2026!
A record-breaking edition for the drone industry
Bordeaux has become the European meeting point for professional drones. Driven by the challenges of defence and technological sovereignty, this edition reached a new milestone: 140 exhibitors, 50% more exhibition space, a 31% increase in attendance with more than 4,500 professionals gathered, and 12 flight demonstrations, from counter-drone solutions to civil applications.
Three days of networking, exchanges and demonstrations that confirm UAV Show’s ability to bring an entire industry together and bring tomorrow’s solutions to light. A huge thank you to our exhibitors, partners and visitors, whose commitment made this event such a success.
See you in autumn 2027 for an even more ambitious edition, which will expand to cover the maritime and land sectors.
