Asia’s leading tri-service defense and internal security exhibition will take place from 10–13 November 2025 at the IMPACT Exhibition and Convention Center in Bangkok. Organized under the patronage of Thailand’s Ministry of Defence, the biennial event marks two decades as a central hub for regional defense and security collaboration.

Since its inception, Defense & Security has evolved into a major meeting point for defense manufacturers, military delegations, and policymakers from across Asia and beyond. The 2025 edition expects participation from over 500 companies representing 50 countries, including 30 national pavilions. Exhibitors will include major defense and internal security manufacturers presenting their latest technologies and solutions.

The exhibition will feature two main sections.

  • The Defence Section will include weapons systems, missiles, tanks, UAVs, transport vehicles, electronic defense technologies, satellite communications, fire control systems, and cybersecurity solutions.
  • The Internal Security Section will highlight CCTV systems, intruder alarms, body armor, riot control equipment, night-vision devices, and protective technologies for law enforcement agencies.

The event is restricted to defense professionals and will host official delegations from the Army, Navy, and Air Force of various Asian countries, as well as representatives from defense ministries, police, customs, and coast guard agencies.

The previous edition in 2023, themed “The Power of Partnership,” recorded participation from 565 exhibitors and over 23,000 visitors from 63 countries. More than 580 business matching meetings were facilitated, reflecting the event’s role in promoting industrial cooperation and market access across ASEAN.

Exhibitors reported strong satisfaction, with 94% expressing positive feedback and 98% planning to return for the 2025 show. Visitor satisfaction reached 97%, while 99% described the event as a “must-attend” for the defense and security community.

The 2023 edition drew official delegations from over 45 countries, including Türkiye, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Japan, the United States, and France. Participating companies such as ASELSAN, CANiK, Chaiseri, LIG Nex1, Saab, and Norinco praised the event’s networking and partnership opportunities.

A major highlight of 2023 was the international seminar “AI: The New Player in Cyber Security,” which brought together experts and defense leaders to discuss emerging technologies and digital defense strategies. With its reputation as ASEAN’s leading tri-service defense and internal security exhibition, Defense & Security 2025 aims to further expand industrial partnerships and strategic dialogues in a region of growing geopolitical significance. The event will once again provide a platform for governments, defense agencies, and industry stakeholders to explore collaboration opportunities and shape the future of defense and security in Asia.
