Connecting government, industry, and technology leaders focused on resilient supply chains, civil defence, and national preparedness.
The Supply Security & Defence Expo is a leading international event focused on critical infrastructure resilience, civil defence, and technological preparedness. SSD 2027 brings together key players at the Baltic's largest exhibition complex.
SSD Expo 2027 spans four critical sectors shaping the future of Baltic and European security. Each sector brings together exhibitors, experts, and live demonstrations under one roof.
Search and rescue systems, emergency response equipment, and civil protection solutions for crisis situations.
Critical energy protection, resilient power systems, and secure energy infrastructure for national defence.
Strategic defence equipment, dual-use technologies, and tactical systems for modern forces across the Baltic region.
Secure logistics, defence transport, and resilient supply chain systems for NATO and allied forces.
From global defence primes to specialist Baltic manufacturers — SSD brings the full supply chain to one venue.
SSD Expo 2025 brought together defence, security, and dual-use industries for two days of exhibitions, live demonstrations, and high-level networking in Tallinn.
The doors opened at Tallinn Creative Hub to a packed exhibition floor. Over 1,600 attendees from 14 countries explored 128 exhibitor booths spanning defence, dual-use technologies, and critical infrastructure.
From global primes like BAE Systems and Samsung to Baltic-born startups, the expo floor featured live product demos, tactical equipment, and next-generation defence technology across six dedicated sector zones.
Senior defence officials, NATO representatives, and industry leaders took the stage for keynote sessions covering regional security, supply chain resilience, and the future of European defence cooperation.
The Exponaut-powered matchmaking platform generated over 800 pre-scheduled meetings between exhibitors, government buyers, and defence procurement teams. Connections that turned into contracts.
The event closed with commitments from Baltic defence ministries and NATO partners to expand SSD 2027 in Riga — doubling the floor space, tripling the programme, and opening to the full Baltic Sea region.
The largest specialised exhibition complex in the Baltic countries. Two pavilions totalling nearly 15,000 m², fixed conference rooms for 220 and 500 persons.
