DefenceTech Switzerland 2026

Overview

Recent conflicts have demonstrated a major shift in modern warfare.
‍
Large numbers of drones, loitering munitions and missiles are increasingly used to attack cities, energy infrastructure, datacenters, and military systems.
‍
This creates an urgent need for technologies that can:

• detect incoming threats early
• protect airspace and critical infrastructure
• neutralize drones and missile systems
• provide real-time warning to civilian populations

Switzerland hosts a strong ecosystem in AI, sensors, cybersecurity, drones and precision engineering that can contribute to these emerging defence challenges.
‍

DefenceTech Switzerland 2026 brings together Swiss and European technology companies, researchers, government stakeholders and investors to explore solutions for modern airspace security and critical infrastructure protection.
‍

Representatives from European defence ministries, EU institutions and NATO organizations will be invited to participate and engage with the Swiss technology ecosystem.
