Ukraine will be one of the largest participants in the 16th International Future Forces Exhibition & Forum 2026, which will take place in Prague on October 21–23.
The exhibition is expected to feature 27 Ukrainian companies, the same number as from the United Kingdom and Germany. The United States will be represented by 33 exhibitors, while the Czech Republic will have 226.
In total, more than 500 exhibitors from 38 countries have registered. They will showcase their solutions across more than 23,000 square metres of exhibition space. The event is expected to attract over 9,000 visitors, more than 1,000 delegates and VIP guests, and delegations from over 70 countries, including Ukraine.
The forum will feature around 40 conferences, expert panels, working sessions and specialised events addressing current and future challenges in land, air, space and cyber operations.
A significant part of the programme will focus on autonomous and robotic systems. Lessons learned from ongoing conflicts will be incorporated into nearly every panel discussion.
The "Future of Civil Security" conference will examine Ukraine’s experience in military and civilian security operations, while the "Internal Security and National Resilience" conference will focus on protecting people and infrastructure and ensuring the continuity of government operations amid conflict and hybrid threats.
Future Forces Exhibition & Forum is one of the region’s largest defence and security events, bringing together advanced technologies and real-world operational experience.
The platform connects representatives of governments, armed forces, security and emergency services, international organisations, industry, research institutions and academia to examine lessons from modern conflicts and develop practical solutions for defence, security and national resilience.
