History

[edit]

The first event was organised in 1967 by the French military procurement agency at Camp Satory with 30 exhibitors.[3] All the editions from SATORY I to SATORY X were held there.

1992 marked a turning point: the exhibition was modified to be pan-European,[4] taking the name EUROSATORY, European Land Defence Exhibition and moved to the Bourget Exhibition Centre.

In 1994, the United States exhibited for the first time, and most participants were from NATO countries. It went fully international in 1996 when manufacturers from the Russian Federation joined the exhibition.

In 2000, Eurosatory was renamed to "International Land and Air Defence Exhibition".

From 2002 onward, the exhibition was held in the Paris-Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre.

The 2006 event gathered 1,083 exhibitors and 48,000 participants, 50% of which were international, according to the official website. According to the same source, 110 official delegations from 71 countries came to the event, including 450 VIPs, and 24 ministers.

The 2008 event was one of the most successful in the history of the show, with 117 delegations, 52,500 visitors and 1,210 exhibitors and an exhibition space of 125,000m2. Some delegates then had a dinner at the Louvre museum.

In 2010, emphasis was on operational medicine, UASs, and ground robots.[5] It was attended by 1,327 exhibitors from 54 countries and 53,566 professionals.

The 2012 event was dedicated to "Land Defense and Security". It placed an emphasis on cybersecurity by organizing the first forum Cyberdef-Cybersec. There were 1,432 exhibitors and 53,480 visitors.

In 2014, the Eurosatory exhibition brought together 1,507 exhibitors from 59 countries, more than 55,700 visitors and 172 Official Delegations.

In 2016, the exhibition hosted 1,571 exhibitors from 57 countries, 65.5% of which were international. There were 57,024 professional visitors from 140 countries, 212 official delegations with 821 delegates, and 723 journalists from all around the world.

In 2018, Eurosatory presented a number of novelties: the opening of a third exhibition hall, the Eurosatory LAB presenting 65 French and foreign start-ups, the presence of institutions in the live demonstrations (GIGN, French Army, Prefecture de Police inter-services, and more), and a career day. The event had 1,802 exhibitors (65% international), 57,056 visitors including 227 official delegations.

After a four year hiatus due to the COVID-19 health crisis, the 2022 International Exhibition for Land and Air-land Defence and Security took place from June 13 - 17, 2022. It was one of the most significant in the history of the exhibition, in the particular context of conflicts at the gates of Europe. 1,743 companies and about 62,000 professionals participated in and attended the event.[1] There were 250 delegations from 96 countries, senior executives, public and private decision-makers and project leaders. For the first time, the President of France, Emmanuel Macron inaugurated the show.[6]

During the 2024 edition, France banned Israeli defence companies from exhibiting at the arms fair due to the Israel-Hamas War.[7] The Jerusalem Post reported that the District Court in France then prohibited "any Israeli citizen or intermediary of an Israeli business" from visiting the exhibit.[8] The Times of Israel said the ban would affect anyone working for or representing Israeli firms.[9] The ban was overturned after Eurosatory 2024 started on June 18, 2024. French-German KMW+Nexter Defense Systems (KNDS) presented prototype of the "Enhanced Main Battle Tank (E-MBT)" of EMBT ADT140.[10] and Leclerc Evolution.[11]
