Following the event, Arkadiusz Krzeczkowski, Director of the Trade Fairs Department at Targi Kielce SA, spoke to Defensehere.com, the exhibition’s media partner, sharing his assessment and outlining plans for future editions.

“We had four really busy days because, again, we had a record-breaking exhibition,” Krzeczkowski said. “On over 40,000 square meters, we had 811 exhibitors and over 30,000 visitors. The defense industry came from all over the world, from all continents, and from 35 countries. We also hosted 42 official delegations from different countries.”

Looking ahead, Krzeczkowski revealed that Targi Kielce is expanding its facilities to meet increasing demand. “In the future, we're going to build a new hall, which is under construction now, so an additional 50,000 square meters will be available next year. I hope we can host the exhibitors in the new hall,” he explained.

He underlined his expectations for the coming edition: “I expect another new record next year. We are working for making the future safe and making a great job for the security in this region.”
