The global naval industry is gearing up for the opening of the 29th EURONAVAL Paris 2024 exhibition.

The world's largest naval defence trade show will be held from November 4th to 7th at the Paris Nord Villepinte exhibition centre. For over 50 years, EURONAVAL has been the world's benchmark event, bringing together the sector's political, military and industrial decision-makers every two years. Once again this year, it will be the venue for unveiling the latest technological innovations for the navies around the world.

Top international exhibitors and visitors

Nearly 500 exhibitors are expected at EURONAVAL Paris 2024, including almost 300 international companies from some 30 countries on all 5 continents. For this 2024 edition, thirteen countries will be organising their own national pavilions (Germany, Brazil, USA, Finland, Israel, Italy, Norway, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Turkey, Colombia, Denmark and Greece).

Once again this year, the EURONAVAL exhibition will be attended by a high-level professional audience made up of political leaders, experts, industrialists and official delegations representing all the maritime countries with military and state navies. Customised programmes of visits to the exhibition, tailored to their needs and to those of the exhibitors, are very carefully put together for their benefit.

An enhanced conference offer with new forums for expression

EURONAVAL Paris 2024 is also a space for conferences and discussions. Building on the success of the EURONAVAL TALKS, which have been broadcast regularly throughout 2024, a TV platform located at the heart of the exhibition is the ideal setting for premium round tables. High-level debates, moderated by specialist journalists, will address key topics in the naval sector, including:

• Feedback from the naval war in Ukraine
• European shipbuilding
• Industry at the service of multinational maritime operations
• Seabed: from strategic observation to action
• Digital, space and cyber: what impact for the naval sector?
• Territorialisation of maritime spaces

A workshop area organised and run in partnership with exhibitors and political and defence institutions (Ministries, National Assembly, Senate, French Navy, DGA, NATO, UN, European Union, etc.), will host four days of technological, operational and political discussions open to all.

Innovation at the heart of EURONAVAL 2024

In a constantly evolving sector, where technological advances are constantly reshaping standards, EURONAVAL supports and promotes innovative and emerging companies. Ideally located at the heart of the exhibition, the SEAnnovation space invites start-ups in the naval sector to present their innovations to an international audience of decision-makers and buyers. Start-ups selected for the SEAnnovation area will benefit from increased visibility at the event, as well as privileged access to a global network of experts, decision-makers and potential investors. They will also have the opportunity to take part in round tables, pitch sessions, live demonstrations and B2B meetings.

The EURONAVAL AWARDS, successfully launched at the previous edition, will once again be at the centre of the exhibition. An international jury led by the President of the Naval Academy will select the winning exhibiting companies in 2024 that stand out for their disruptive innovations in naval defence, maritime safety and security.

EURONAVAL 2024 new features

EURONAVAL Paris 2024 is introducing several new features that will enhance the exhibition's appeal.

The Workshops Country Seminar, a space dedicated to the ten national pavilions, where each country will be able to organise conferences and exchanges to promote its exhibitors.

The NAVY MOTION space, developed in partnership with the French Navy, will immerse visitors in the world of naval operations through a visual experience at the heart of the Navy's ships, submarines, aircraft and commandos.

Art and culture will also be represented at EURONAVAL Paris 2024 with the NAVAL BOOKSHOP, a specialist bookshop offering a wide range of maritime and naval books in French and, for the first time, in English, as well as SHOM nautical charts and a sales area for promotional items.

A superb photographic exhibition entitled ‘NEPTUNE’ by Ewan Lebourdais, the official painter of the navy, will transport visitors to the heart of naval commandos.

EURONAVAL Paris 2024 is first and foremost a business event. Hundreds of B2B meetings will be organised between visitors and exhibitors, who are invited to register as soon as possible on the organisation platform.

Once again this year, taking part in EURONAVAL will be an opportunity to discover the latest innovations and meet the men and women who will be shaping the marine industries of tomorrow.
