With over 3,600 professionals and 100 exhibitors, UAV Show 2025 established itself as a leading European platform for both civil and military drones.
A look back at an edition marked by the Defense shift, technological innovation, and new industrial synergies.
A large part of our conference program will be focused on defense. One of the sessions will explore the transition from prototype to industrial phase. We’ll also discuss so-called male drones — large drones used by air and naval forces — as well as the issue of anti-drone measures. Other current topics such as AI will also be covered. Beyond this defense-oriented focus, the Show will feature 110 exhibitors over two days, on October 14 and 15. The Demo Day, a day of outdoor flight demonstrations, will take place on October 16 and will include a presentation of the Pandrone program, which aims to secure airport sites using autonomous aerial and ground drone systems. This three-year program is led in collaboration with 17 academic and industry partners. While the program is still being finalized, we can already announce that the Show will kick off with an opening keynote featuring Nicolas Hesse, Delegate Prefect for Defense and Security of the South-West Zone.
