PARIS (NPTV/Euronaval): The organisers of Euronaval have announced on 7th April, 2026 the return of the talks – a series of 6 webinars dedicated to the major challenges facing the naval defence sector – with the first episode available online.
These sessions, hosted by Alix Valenti, an international defence and security expert, will bring
together sailors, politicians, researchers and industry representatives to debate the major changes taking place in the naval defence sector.
The war in Ukraine, the conflict in the Middle East and the blockage of strategic maritime routes: this return to high-intensity conflict is accompanied by an increasing hybridisation of maritime threats. Both on the high seas and in ports, potential vulnerabilities are multiplying and diversifying.
Which infrastructures are most at risk ? How can security be reconciled with operational continuity? How should we respond to cyber threats and the challenge of energy self-sufficiency ? The EURONAVAL Talks will provide key opportunities to understand, analyse and decipher these issues facing the global naval industry. The programme will follow a progression in intensity, from hybrid threats to combat scenarios.
The 30th edition of EURONAVAL, the world’s leading defence and naval exhibition, will take place from the 3rd to 6th Nov 2026 at Paris against an international backdrop marked by the resurgence of high-intensity conflicts and an increasingly uncertain climate. Created in 1968 for the French naval industry, Euronaval has gradually opened up to European and then international manufacturers, becoming the global benchmark for naval defence. Keeping abreast of the latest geostrategic and economic developments around the world, this event is constantly evolving and adding innovative technological products to each new edition. This responsiveness enables the biennial event to present the answers to the major naval and maritime challenges of the 21st century.
PARIS: For over 50 years, the exhibition’s strength has been its ability to attract the most important official delegations (government decision-makers, chiefs of staff of foreign navies). In 2024, the trade fair welcomed 150 French and international delegations.
