EID, a Cohort plc company, is taking part in Eurosatory 2026, the world’s leading land and air-land defence and security exhibition, held from 15 to 19 June at Paris Nord Villepinte. This year, EID is present at two locations on the show floor, presenting its latest command, control, communications and intelligence (C4I) solutions to a global audience of defence and security professionals.
A leading platform for the global defence community
Eurosatory has been the benchmark event for the international defence and security industry since 1967, held every two years in Paris and bringing together thousands of exhibitors, official delegations, and tens of thousands of visitors from across the world. The 2026 edition continues that legacy, focusing on the strategic trends that are reshaping modern defence: multi-domain superiority, remote engagement, land manoeuvre and air mobility, comprehensive security, and industrial resilience.
For EID, Eurosatory represents one of the most important opportunities of the year to connect with international partners, clients, and prospective collaborators, and to demonstrate how Portuguese defence engineering continues to deliver solutions trusted by armed forces and security organisations worldwide.
Two stands, one mission
This year, EID’s presence at Eurosatory spans two locations within the exhibition halls:
- EID S.A. – Hall 4, Stand D286, where the company is showcasing its own portfolio of C4I solutions directly to visitors.
- Portuguese Pavilion (idD Portugal Defence) – Hall 5, Stand C286, where EID joins other Portuguese defence companies under the national pavilion organised by idD Portugal Defence, reinforcing the country’s collective presence in the global defence and security market.
This dual presence reflects both EID’s individual strength as a technology provider and its role within Portugal’s broader defence industrial ecosystem, a sector increasingly recognised internationally for its technical capability and reliability.
What EID is presenting
At the heart of EID’s stand is its C4I solutions portfolio, developed for naval and land operations and designed to support modern, networked defence forces. Visitors to the EID stand can explore:
- Integrated communications, command and control systems that connect forces across multiple domains in real time.
- Real-time situational awareness tools that give decision-makers a clear, accurate picture of the operational environment.
- Modular and scalable architecture, allowing solutions to be adapted to a wide range of mission requirements and force sizes.
- Secure and reliable information exchange, a critical requirement for any modern tactical communications system.
These capabilities are demonstrated through interactive displays at the stand, including live system demonstrations and dedicated areas where EID’s engineering team can walk visitors through how the technology performs in real operational scenarios — from tactical frontline communications to vehicle-mounted systems and dismounted soldier equipment.
Engineered in Portugal, trusted worldwide
EID’s presence at Eurosatory reinforces a message that runs through the company’s identity: technology engineered in Portugal, trusted by defence and security forces around the world. As a Cohort plc company, EID combines decades of national engineering expertise with the backing of an international group, allowing it to compete and deliver at the highest levels of the global defence market.
Throughout the show, EID’s team has been holding meetings with international partners, existing clients, and new contacts from across the defence and security value chain: conversations that often translate into long-term collaborations on future programmes and technology development.
Why events like Eurosatory matter for the defence sector
Trade exhibitions such as Eurosatory play a central role in an industry where trust, technical credibility, and long-term relationships are essential. Beyond the exhibition stands, the event hosts conferences, live demonstrations by elite units, and discussions on the threats and capabilities shaping the future of defence and security. For companies like EID, being present means staying close to the evolving needs of armed forces and security organisations, and ensuring that Portuguese defence technology remains visible and competitive on the international stage.
Looking ahead
As Eurosatory 2026 continues through 19 June, EID’s team remains on-site at both stands, ready to meet visitors, demonstrate its C4I solutions, and discuss how its technology can support the operational needs of defence and security forces worldwide.
