DRONExpo 2025, Spain’s main fair for drones and anti-drone systems, will be held on September 24–25 at Madrid Arena. The event anchors Spain’s growing role in Europe’s defence and security-technology landscape, combining exhibitions, demonstrations, and policy discussions at the intersection of innovation and protection — a dynamic already evident in Europe’s rearmament drive.
Now in its fourth edition, DRONExpo is organized alongside TECNOSEC, the national fair for police and intelligence technologies. Together, they showcase how Europe’s drone sector is converging with law-enforcement and defence industries to address new security challenges, from border control to critical-infrastructure protection — themes also explored in Denmark’s counter-UAS policy lessons.
This year’s agenda highlights the dual nature of drone technology. Sessions will examine urban air mobility, regulatory frameworks, and liability issues, alongside the use of drones and counter-drone systems by police and military forces. Exhibitors will present platforms, payloads, and applications ranging from surveillance and mapping to emergency response and industrial inspection, reflecting the operational diversity discussed in Europe’s anti-drone strategy for 2027.
Visitors will include representatives from security forces, emergency services, and public agencies, as well as private operators, manufacturers, and investors. The combination of public and private participation underscores how unmanned systems are now embedded in both civil and defence strategies — a trend mirrored by Indra’s expansion across Europe and broader EU industrial cooperation initiatives.
As the drone market evolves, DRONExpo’s partnership with TECNOSEC positions Spain as a southern-European hub for security innovation. The 2025 edition reinforces a key continental trend: the fusion of technology, policy, and operational readiness in a shared drive to secure the skies — aligning with the ambitions set out in the European Defence Readiness Roadmap 2030.
