Army Recognition has been named the official media partner of BEDEX 2026, the inaugural Brussels European Defence Exhibition and Conference set for March 12 to 14 at Brussels Expo. The event is expected to gather NATO and EU stakeholders, global defense firms, and land forces decision-makers, signaling where European procurement and modernization priorities may intersect with U.S. industry and alliance strategy.

Army Recognition is appointed as the official media partner for BEDEX 2026, providing the Official Online Show Daily News and Web TV, positioning our editorial team at the center of a new European venue where industrial solutions, operational requirements, and alliance-level defense priorities are set to converge. This partnership goes beyond simple visibility. BEDEX is structured to bring together decision-makers, uniformed stakeholders, and manufacturers within the institutional environment of Brussels, in close proximity to NATO and EU defense structures, creating a concentrated platform where capability gaps, acquisition priorities, and interoperability challenges can be identified and analyzed in real time.

BEDEX, short for Brussels European Defence Exhibition and Conference, is launching its inaugural edition as a three-day event at Brussels Expo, hosted in Halls 7 and 11 at Place de Belgique. Organizers describe the show as a meeting point for the Belgian and wider European defense industry, with a stated scale of 200 exhibitors and more than 35 international delegations. That combination is significant for land-domain audiences because it compresses a broad slice of the European defense ecosystem into one venue, from prime contractors to fast-moving SMEs that often deliver the enabling subsystems behind survivability, sensing, and networking upgrades.

The show format is structured to separate business and public access. March 12 and 13, 2026, are dedicated to professionals, with conferences, round tables, demonstrations, and a matchmaking architecture intended to support contract discussions and industrial partnering, before opening to the general public on March 14. This sequencing reflects a deliberate attempt to serve both acquisition-facing stakeholders and broader national resilience goals such as recruitment, industrial awareness, and public understanding of defense requirements.

The official directory already lists a cross-domain slate that includes Airbus, Anduril, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Saab, Kongsberg, Thales Global Services, Safran Aero Boosters, FN Herstal, John Cockerill Defense, KNDS, Indra Group, Exail Robotics, and Belgian deep-tech actor imec, pointing to a blend of platform-level players and the specialist technology base that feeds modern kill chains. The presence of both legacy land system names and newer autonomy-focused firms suggests the show will highlight how ground forces are absorbing lessons from Ukraine and integrating drones, counter-drone measures, electronic protection, and digital fires into force design.

The conference program reinforces that trajectory. Scheduled themes include “The New Drone Playbook,” “Holding the Ground: Europe’s Land Defence,” “Digital Frontlines: IT & Cybersecurity in Modern Defence,” and “Beyond Earth: Space Security,” with keynote slots indicated for Belgium’s Chief of Defence, Frederik Vansin, and Airbus Defence and Space CEO Michael Schoellhorn. A Belgian-French matchmaking event hosted by Agoria-BSDI is also on the agenda, aligning with Europe’s current emphasis on industrial cooperation, scale, and faster fielding cycles.

As official media, Army Recognition will provide on-site reporting, technical walkarounds, and capability-focused analysis from Brussels, including coverage of exhibitors and conference signals that indicate where European procurement and modernization are heading. Army Recognition is also listed in the exhibitor directory, with its presence anchored at stand 07-401, enabling direct engagement with industry and military visitors throughout the event.
