Europe’s Maritime Security & Defence Community Meets in Hamburg

Since 2009, MS&D has brought together the international Maritime Security & Defence Community.

In 2027, the established Conference & Expo takes the next step and will once again become a key meeting point for the industry on 8 and 9 December – with an even clearer focus on maritime security, defence, international procurement and the technologies shaping the maritime capabilities of tomorrow. 

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.
