Calling Card

DSEI is a leading international trade show servicing the defence and security industry, which has seen rapid changes due to digitalization and cyber threats.

Did You Know? 

Editions tend to operate under specific themes. For DSEI 2021, the overall subject is the Integrated Response to Future Threats. A topic brought on by the UK Ministry of Defence and so important that it has been adopted across the entire Day Zero Conference. The relationship between military and industry is at the heart of this subject. DSEI has a very well developed support program. Along the Conference, there are six seminars, additional specialized hubs and workshops available. There are going to be focused sessions on a variety of subjects. The two workshops for 2021 are 'Doing Business In....' focused on different regions and a Defence Engineering Skills Workshop.
