Program

We can’t wait to welcome you to NEDS in November!

To ensure everyone has as many chances as possible to make new contacts and explore opportunities, we have chosen to organise a number of events on the day before the show floor opens.

On 29 November, the NIDV will organise EDF and global matchmaking in collaboration with RVO. Also, several speakers from the Ministry of Defence and other parts of the Defence and Security sector will make presentations on topics such as sustainable security, defence and sustainability and the current situation in the world.

On 30 November, the exhibition floor will open at 08:00 and we invite you to explore our exhibitors’ stands and see the latest, most innovative services and products. Speak with industry leaders, government representatives or military personnel from the Netherlands or the rest of the world. On 30 November, you can also listen to Defence Secretary Christophe van der Maat’s speech and attend the annual presentation of the Jan Gmelich Meijling Prize. The exhibition floor closes at 17:30.

Please note that the schedule may be subject to change, so check back to stay up-to-date.
