As the foremost naval defense and maritime exhibition, it has continuously evolved to reflect shifts in the geopolitical and technological landscape since its inception in 1968. This year’s show promises to emphasize strategic resilience, multinational defense partnerships, and sustainability in response to rising maritime conflicts and expanding territories of strategic interest, such as the seabed, cyberspace, and outer space.

A unique feature this year is the NAVY MOTION section, which, in collaboration with the French Navy, will immerse attendees in a virtual experience of naval operations, highlighting the functions of naval ships, submarines, and special operation units. Designed to showcase the power of naval forces in a visually dynamic way, NAVY MOTION aims to engage not only industry professionals but also defense personnel, who will experience the operational capacities and missions of a modern navy. Complementing this section, the NEPTUNE exhibition by naval artist Ewan Lebourdais offers a striking artistic perspective on naval commandos, bridging the operational with the cultural​.

Euronaval Talks will cover strategic topics that include the latest lessons from naval engagements such as the war in Ukraine, European and multinational defense capabilities, and the expansion of maritime territorial boundaries. These sessions, broadcast live from the event's TV platform, provide a unique, ongoing dialogue between the industry’s leaders, decision-makers, and influencers. Each panel discussion aims to deepen understanding of critical issues, such as the role of digital and space-based assets in naval defense, the impact of climate change on maritime operations, and the need for technological sovereignty in Europe’s defense sector​.

In addition to facilitating global networking, Euronaval is a venue for technological advancement through the SEAnnovation space, which showcases start-ups focused on breakthrough maritime innovations. Start-ups benefit from increased visibility, connections with top buyers, and exclusive opportunities to present at roundtables and live demos. SEAnnovation reflects Euronaval’s commitment to supporting emerging firms that could redefine naval defense capabilities in fields such as AI, automation, and environmental sustainability.

The Euronaval Awards program, another key aspect, will recognize innovative contributions that offer substantial advancements in maritime security, naval defense, and safety. An esteemed jury, led by the President of the Naval Academy, will review new technologies to identify groundbreaking solutions, underscoring the event’s emphasis on disruptive innovation. This year, these awards highlight the importance of pioneering technology in maintaining global maritime stability amidst increasing strategic competition.
