This year the NEDS is back and bigger than ever. There is a lot of enthusiasm from our exhibitors, visitors, and NIDV staff. Registration for our visitors will open again in September and we hope to see you in Rotterdam on 17 November 2022. Thales Netherlands is acting as sponsor and the theme this year is “Netherlands on the Radar”.  

The NIDV is accutely aware of the importance of international trade for the Dutch economy in general and the Defence and Security sector in particular. One of the ways in which the NIDV promotes the market position of the Dutch Defence and Security Industry is by participating in Partners for International Business (PIB) Initiatives. The NIDV already played a coordinating role in two successful initiatives with Malaysia and Singapore, first, and Greece, second. Now we are pleased to announce that we are joining two new initiatives with South Korea and the United States.

For one week during Eurosatory, Defence and Security companies present their goods and services for innumerable foreign delegations to explore. This trade fair, opened by president Macron, can be of great benefit to both small and large companies.
