Europe’s Maritime Security & Defence Community Meets in Hamburg

Two days.
One central meeting point.
The key players of a growing industry.

MS&D connects government and armed forces with procurement, industry, technology and research. It brings international delegations together with established providers and new market players.

And it creates the conditions in which innovation turns into concrete applications and new business opportunities.
