Return to an In-Person Event Sparking Great Enthusiasm
After a successful foray into the domain of the fully digital exhibition in 2021, Euronaval will be hosting exhibitors and visitors in person, once more this year, as the world’s largest naval defence exhibition returns to physical format.
Euronaval 2022 – the 28th iteration of the celebrated exhibition – returns to Paris-Le Bourget this year, from 18-21 October. An unmissable calendar highlight for commanders and procurement officials from navies all over the world, the event will bring together the naval companies and leading figures from five continents. In 2018, French President Emmanuel Macron attended Euronaval in its 50th anniversary year: 480 exhibitors participated, 60% of whom were from abroad, and 142 official delegations were hosted. In October 2020, since the usual format was impossible due to the global health crisis, Euronaval was the only naval defence trade show to mount a 100% digital edition, packed with insights – Euronaval Online. This digital event made it possible to maintain connections between all naval industry stakeholders, thereby shoring up its role as a catalyst for the economy and for the global naval industry.
French Minister Delegate for Industry, Agnès Pannier-Runacher, said at the time “Euronaval Online is an opportunity for celebrating an entire sector and for driving it forward”. The prospect of an exhibition that will be held once again on site is sparking anticipation and tremendous enthusiasm, with many exhibitors having already confirmed participation. Euronaval 2022 is already shaping up to be the flagship event for naval technologies of the future. “Trade shows have been unable to take place for too many months. They are a key link of the global economy, promoting discussion, meetings and international trade agreements. The sense of excitement is already palpable, among exhibitors and our visitors alike, at the idea of getting back together in person at the Euronaval exhibition in Paris Le Bourget, from 18 to 21 October 2022,” commented Hugues d’Argentré, CEO of SOGENA and General Manager of Euronaval.
The exhibition booths and avenues will be just as busy – and just as productive – in October.
