Hellenic International Defence Exhibition, Athens, GreeceProfile
The Athens International Defence Exhibition (DEFEA) is the premier defense show in Southeast Europe and the Balkans. This highly anticipated international event showcases land, naval, aerospace, and national as well as cybersecurity defense systems from leading global companies.
The Athens International Defence Exhibition (DEFEA) enjoys strong support from the Hellenic Ministry of National Defense and the Hellenic Association of Defence Industry Manufacturers (SEKPY). It features cutting-edge equipment and technologies spanning land, sea, air, space, homeland security, and cybersecurity.
Greece is a member of both the European Union and NATO, strategically located at the southeastern tip of Europe, on the southern edge of the Balkan Peninsula, and serving as a key crossroads connecting Europe, Asia, and Africa. Its mainland borders Albania to the northwest, North Macedonia to the north, and Bulgaria to the northeast, while its northeastern frontier adjoins Turkey. China and Greece enjoy a comprehensive strategic partnership, with Greece being the first developed European country to endorse the Belt and Road Initiative.
Industry giants such as Lockheed Martin, NAVAL GROUP, MBDA, Thales, Dassault, Safran, FINCANTIERI, Rheinmetall, and others are among the exhibitors. The event also welcomes distinguished international delegations from Greece, Europe, the Balkans, the Middle East, and the broader Eastern Mediterranean—including defense ministers, heads of national defense and security agencies, directors-general of civil protection authorities, senior defense officials, military commanders, chiefs of staff, police officers, firefighters, port authorities, ambassadors, military attachés, and trade commissioners.
As a hub for innovation-driven technology and exceptional service experiences, the exhibition has earned widespread acclaim. For many years, Juzhan has provided efficient, professional exhibition services to Chinese foreign trade enterprises. The Athens International Defence Exhibition (DEFEA) stands as an ideal and strategically vital venue for defense and security exhibitions, offering the EU and the United States a gateway to Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
