Two specialised exhibitions will bring the defence and security sectors to Baku from 30 September to 2 October 2026, each providing a distinct platform for international cooperation, technology and business development. 

 

Baku, Azerbaijan – From 30 September to 2 October 2026, Baku will host two international exhibitions serving different but complementary markets: ADEX – Azerbaijan International Defence Exhibition and Securex Caspian – International Exhibition for Internal Security, Safety and Rescue Equipment. 

 

Taking place concurrently, each exhibition has a distinct focus and audience. ADEX will once again bring the international defence industry to Azerbaijan, while Securex Caspian will provide a focused platform for companies seeking opportunities within Azerbaijan's emerging security, safety and protection market. 

 

ADEX 2026: The International Defence Industry Returns to Azerbaijan 

 

ADEX is the region's largest event dedicated to the defence industry and an established meeting point for military leadership, government representatives, international delegations, manufacturers, suppliers and defence industry professionals. 

 

The exhibition provides companies with an opportunity to demonstrate defence technologies and capabilities directly to relevant buyers, procurement organisations and end users while establishing connections with representatives from Azerbaijan and international markets. 

 

Covering solutions for land forces, aviation, naval capabilities and homeland defence, ADEX facilitates professional dialogue, international cooperation and the exchange of expertise across the defence industry. 

 

The scale of its previous edition underlines the exhibition's international standing. 

 

ADEX 2024 welcomed 270 participating companies and 9,304 visitors, alongside 53 international military delegations and 14 national groups. Covering an exhibition area of 20,023 square metres, the event brought together a diverse international defence community in Baku. 

 

Building on this foundation, ADEX 2026 will once again provide a strategic environment for manufacturers and suppliers to present their latest developments, establish new relationships and engage directly with key representatives of the defence sector. 

 

For international companies exploring Azerbaijan and the wider region, the exhibition provides valuable access to a specialised professional audience and an opportunity to better understand the requirements and priorities of the market. 

 

Securex Caspian: Access to Azerbaijan's Emerging Security Market 

 

Alongside ADEX, Securex Caspian 2026 will provide a dedicated platform for companies operating across the security, safety and emergency response industries. 

 

As Azerbaijan continues to develop its urban infrastructure, transport networks, industrial facilities and public spaces, the need for modern security, monitoring, protection and emergency-response solutions is creating opportunities for international technology and equipment providers. 

 

Securex Caspian is designed to connect these solutions with the professionals and organisations responsible for security and safety within the country. 

 

The exhibition is attended by representatives of law enforcement and specialised bodies, emergency rescue and border services, as well as professionals involved in protecting urban infrastructure, transport systems, industrial enterprises and other facilities. 

 

For participating companies, this creates an opportunity to enter an emerging security market, develop relationships with relevant stakeholders and introduce technologies and expertise to potential customers and partners. 

 

From Cybersecurity to Border Protection 

 

Securex Caspian covers a diverse range of technologies addressing both established and evolving security requirements. 

 

Exhibiting companies can present solutions across CCTV and surveillance, cybersecurity and data protection, access control, fire safety, border protection, forensic technologies, perimeter security, public-space security, transport security, customs inspection, rescue equipment and specialised vehicles. 

 

The exhibition also provides opportunities for suppliers of security services and integrated systems to engage directly with professionals seeking solutions for increasingly complex security environments. 

 

Cybersecurity and data protection are particularly relevant as organisations, infrastructure operators and public institutions become increasingly dependent on interconnected digital systems. At the same time, physical security, access management, surveillance and emergency preparedness remain essential considerations for developing cities and industries. 

 

By bringing these solutions together within a focused professional environment, Securex Caspian provides a gateway for international companies interested in understanding and developing opportunities within Azerbaijan's security sector. 

 

Two Exhibitions. Two Distinct Industry Platforms. 

 

While ADEX and Securex Caspian take place concurrently in Baku, each serves a clearly defined market. 

 

ADEX provides an established international platform for the defence industry, connecting manufacturers and suppliers with military leadership, government representatives, international delegations and defence professionals. 

 

Securex Caspian provides access to an emerging security market, connecting technology and solution providers with professionals responsible for public safety, infrastructure protection, border security, cybersecurity and emergency response. 

 

Their concurrent timing also gives international professionals whose interests cross both sectors an opportunity to engage with a wider range of stakeholders during their visit to Baku, while maintaining the distinct identity and purpose of each exhibition. 

 

From established international defence cooperation at ADEX to new opportunities within Azerbaijan's developing security landscape at Securex Caspian, September will bring two specialised industry communities to Baku. 

 

ADEX and Securex Caspian will take place from 30 September to 2 October 2026 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
