DAIMEX Baltic 2026 to Bring Defense Industry and NATO Stakeholders to Lithuania
DAIMEX Baltic 2026 will bring together defense and aerospace companies, military representatives, and NATO stakeholders in Lithuania on 12-13 May 2026. The event combines a conference, exhibition, live demonstrations, and business meetings focused on regional defense cooperation.
The Baltic defense industry ecosystem is set to convene in Lithuania next month as DAIMEX Baltic 2026 brings together manufacturers, military representatives, policymakers, and international partners for a two-day defense and aerospace industry event focused on NATO’s eastern flank.
Scheduled for 12-13 May 2026, DAIMEX Baltic 2026 will combine a strategic conference, industrial exhibition, live capability demonstrations, and structured business-to-business and business-to-government meetings under a single platform. The event is designed to strengthen defense industrial cooperation across the Baltic region while expanding links with NATO and international partners.
According to organizers, the conference will focus on investment in defense technologies and local industrial capabilities as part of broader efforts to reinforce NATO’s eastern flank. Discussions are expected to address procurement priorities, industrial resilience, technological development, and regional cooperation between allied defense sectors.
The initiative is jointly organized by the Lithuanian Defence and Security Industry Association, the Federation of Security and Defence Industries of Latvia, and the Estonian Defence and Aerospace Industry Association, highlighting a coordinated Baltic approach to industrial defense cooperation. The event also reflects increasing emphasis across NATO member states on regional production capacity and supply chain resilience following heightened security requirements in Europe.
The first day of the event will center on conference sessions and networking activities in Vilnius, while the second day will shift toward field-based demonstrations at the General Silvestras Žukauskas Training Area in Pabradė. Organizers indicate the exhibition segment will include live demonstrations of defense technologies and military equipment in operational conditions, alongside indoor exhibition areas for participating companies.
DAIMEX Baltic 2026 is expected to attract defense companies, government agencies, armed forces delegations, investors, and NATO stakeholders from multiple countries. Early event data published by organizers indicated participation from dozens of countries, underlining growing international interest in Baltic defense cooperation and regional industrial partnerships.
For defense companies seeking market access, partnership opportunities, or engagement with procurement stakeholders in the Baltic and Nordic security environment, the event offers a platform for direct interaction through pre-arranged B2B and B2G meetings, networking sessions, and live technology showcases.
Additional information, registration details, and program updates are available via the official event platform and website, according to organizers.
