Introduction

Discover tomorrow's defence capabilities, today

The Live Demonstration Arena is a new feature for DPRTE Expo 2027, giving a small number of organisations the chance to demonstrate innovative products, technologies and capabilities live in front of an audience of defence buyers, decision-makers, primes and supply chain partners.

Unlike a traditional presentation theatre, the Arena is built around short, scheduled live demonstrations — so visitors see technology working in practice, not slides. Expect to see autonomous ground systems, robotics, unmanned systems, sensors and surveillance technology, AI-enabled solutions, communications equipment, simulation, wearables and other emerging defence capabilities.

Places in the Arena are strictly limited, making this one of the standout opportunities at DPRTE Expo 2027 to put genuinely innovative technology in front of the right audience.

Why Visit

A reason to stop, watch, and talk to the people building it

See Innovation in Action
Watch live demonstrations of emerging defence technologies working in real time, not just on a stand.
Discover New Suppliers
Meet innovative SMEs, established suppliers and new entrants introducing capabilities to the defence market.
Ask the People Who Built It
Put questions directly to presenters after each session and explore how a capability could apply to your own requirements.
Make the Most of Your Time
Sessions run continuously across both days, so you can drop into the ones relevant to you without committing to a full programme.

What to Expect

Built for practical demonstrations, not lengthy presentations

Each demonstration follows the same format:

Live capability demonstration
1
The Challenge
The defence problem being addressed.
2
The Demonstration
The technology shown working live.
3
The Application
How it could be used and the benefits it offers.
4
Q&A
Questions from the audience.
5
Next Steps
Direction to the exhibitor's stand to continue the conversation.

Live demonstrations, product showcases and audience Q&A will encourage meaningful discussions throughout the event.

Take Part

A limited number of demonstration slots are available

If you've got innovative technology to show, this is your chance to bring it to life in front of the audience that matters most — rather than just displaying it on a stand.

Places are limited and all demonstrations are subject to approval.
