UAV Show 2026 2026
UAV Show is Europe's leading professional trade show dedicated to civil, defence and dual-use drone technologies, held in Bordeaux, France. The 2026 edition runs from 7 to 9 October 2026 at Palais 2 l'Atlantique in Bordeaux: 7 and 8 October are devoted to the exhibition and round tables, while 9 October is the Demo Day with live flight demonstrations.
The show gathers around 110 exhibitors and 4,000 professionals — contracting authorities, operators, manufacturers, institutional stakeholders and defence-sector representatives — around UAV/UAS platforms, payloads, sensors, counter-UAS, software and services. A rich programme of panel discussions, keynotes and workshops complements the exhibition floor.
Organised by Bordeaux Technowest, UAV Show benefits from the Bordeaux region's drone ecosystem: over 20 years of expertise, a flight corridor stretching more than 100 km along the Atlantic coast, 3,400 companies and 47,000 jobs, plus an international airport at the heart of a 3,372-hectare hub. Nearly three quarters of exhibitors now work with the French Ministry of the Armed Forces, the DGA or the Defence Innovation Agency (AID) alongside their civil activities.
