NEW FOR 2026!
Farnborough International Airshow is crucial in bringing defence companies of all shapes and sizes together and creating invaluable opportunities for collaboration and investment. The Defence SME Zone is an opportunity for attendees to meet and do business with progressive organisations looking to scale and support the international market.
Highlighting Farnborough’s commitment to nurturing emerging talent and innovation in defence, the Defence SME Zone will make its debut as a dedicated showcase for high-potential international organisations specialising in defence and security technologies.
Designed exclusively for businesses with a turnover under £10 million, the zone provides an unprecedented opportunity for SMEs to engage directly with the global defence supply chain; connect with primes, investors, media, and government delegations; participate in exclusive networking events; and showcase innovations to more than 100,000 visitors.
