HEMUS 2026 in Plovdiv, Bulgaria

At the crossroads between East and West, North and South, HEMUS, the largest Bulgarian international defense and security exhibition, with 25 years of growing experience, traditionally offers unique opportunities to meet the interests of government agencies, the National Armed Forces, the Bulgarian defense industry, European and international companies, scientific institutions and academies.

It has proven to be a successful forum for expanding business opportunities in the defense sector, expanding business connections, strengthening relationships and contacts between government and non-government business partners, presenting innovative product and service solutions, sharing knowledge and experience.

HEMUS is an event that brings together relevant decision makers, representatives of national, European and international institutions and organizations, defense companies and academia to enhance international strategic cooperation and dialogue.

Our International Defense Products and Services Exhibition provides a platform for European and international companies to showcase their innovations to an audience that includes key figures in the security and defense industry, government and military officials from the European and international community, as well as opportunities to network with relevant players.

On the Bulgarian side, the main buyers of the exhibited products and services are the Armed Forces, the Police and the National Security Service.

Members, visitors and guests can find many reasons to attend HEMUS and its associated events. Businesses will be able to showcase their products, services and innovative solutions at standalone stands or national pavilions, as well as demonstrate their capabilities through live demonstrations and shooting events.

Planning and holding meetings between business partners, high-ranking government and military officials, European and other foreign official delegations, representatives of international organizations, representatives of scientific organizations and academia will be possible throughout the event.

The Industrial Forum is also a good opportunity for presentations or meetings with the Bulgarian defense industry. Presentations can also be organized separately.
