MSPO 2025 in Numbers
Although the event is still three months away, over 400 companies from 31 countries have already confirmed their participation, occupying a total area of nearly 30,000 square meters. The exhibition will span 8 halls and outdoor areas. This year’s edition is being held under the Honorary Patronage of the President of the Republic of Poland, with the Polish Armaments Group (PGZ) as its strategic partner. The event is supported by the Ministry of National Defence, the Armament Agency, and other military institutions. Numerous foreign delegations are also expected to attend.
Europe Increases Defense Spending – MSPO in the Spotlight
“In an era of growing threats and ongoing instability in Eastern Europe, NATO countries—including Poland—are significantly increasing their defense budgets. We are entering a decade of intensive rearmament. MSPO fits perfectly into this trend. Poland is currently allocating a record-breaking amount—over 4% of its GDP—to the development of its armed forces. This draws the attention of manufacturers, decision-makers, and experts from around the world,” said Dr. Andrzej Mochoń, President of the Management Board of Targi Kielce.
The exhibition is not only a showcase for technological innovations, but also a platform for strategic dialogue that reflects the current needs of allied armed forces.
Modern Armed Forces – An Exhibition Under the Banner of NATO
As part of MSPO 2025, the 26th Armed Forces Exhibition will be held under the theme: Modern Armed Forces Create a Strong and Secure Future. Coordinated by the Armed Forces Support Inspectorate and prepared with the participation of over a thousand Polish Army soldiers, the exhibition will showcase the operational capabilities, weapons systems, and modernization achievements of the Polish military within the NATO framework.
The MSPO 2025 program will also feature conferences, industry seminars, and a visit from military attachés accredited in Poland.
