The leading trade fair continues to grow

ENFORCE TAC is opening the next chapter in its strategic development. The exhibition space at Germany's leading trade fair for internal and external security will grow this year (February 23–25, 2026) to more than 60,000 m² spread across seven halls, and in 2027 (March 2–4) it will even cover almost 73,000 m² in a total of eight halls. To provide a better overview of the entire exhibition grounds, a new hall cluster will also be established, with an adapted structure that reflects the security policy and technological requirements of the coming years. Also new from 2027: a new sequence of days (Tuesday to Thursday) will take even greater account of the needs of authorities and emergency services.

Under the motto of a networked, resilient, and future-oriented security architecture, ENFORCE TAC is developing into the central European platform where innovation, strategic cooperation, and technological progress come together. "Enforce Tac is much more than a trade fair. It is a laboratory for the future, where we work together to make Europe's security more resilient and responsible,“ emphasizes event manager Jasmin Rutka, adding: ”With the additional space, the adjusted sequence of days, and clearly structured hall clusters, we are creating the conditions for growth and further development, focusing precisely on the areas where security, technology, and strategic cooperation intersect."

Hall architecture 2027: Eight halls for Europe's key security-related technologies

In recent years, ENFORCE TAC has grown steadily and expanded its exhibition space step by step. The significant expansion of around 22,000 m² in 2023 was followed by a further expansion to over 47,000 m² in 2025. With more than 60,000 m² in 2026 and a further expansion to almost 73,000 m² in 2027, the trade fair is consistently continuing on this development path. The new size gives exhibitors additional opportunities, for example to showcase large equipment directly at their stands, and visitors even more space to get to know the innovations on the market.

In 2027, the ENFORCE TAC exhibition space will be divided into eight halls for the first time, structured in a new, optimized hall cluster concept. Thanks to a targeted thematic arrangement, integrated theme rooms will be created that offer exhibitors and visitors clear orientation and promote dialogue between technologically related areas. Enforce Tac is thus sending a strong signal about the technological depth and strategic ambition of its further development.

With its adapted content structure, Enforce Tac will in future be able to cover the entire spectrum of security-related technologies and applications – from ground- and air-based systems to maritime solutions, equipment, networked deployment concepts, space platforms, and unmanned systems. The trade fair is thus laying the foundation for a European security architecture that more closely integrates military, governmental, and industrial capabilities. “Enforce Tac 2027 represents a clear focus on Europe's security policy challenges,” explains Jasmin Rutka. “With the new structure, we are creating transparency, setting content priorities, and strengthening the dialogue between users, industry, science, and politics.”

Optimized dates from 2027: Tuesday to Thursday

At the suggestion of numerous authorities, emergency services, and military delegations, Enforce Tac will change its dates to Tuesday to Thursday from 2027 and will take place from March 2 to 4, 2027. The new schedule is intended to make travel considerably easier for many agencies and international institutions and contribute to more efficient planning of trade fair visits. At the same time, it will create improved conditions for users, exhibitors, and organized delegations, thereby strengthening the overall quality of the dialogue on site.

Vision 2027: A European platform with responsibility

ENFORCE TAC underscores Germany's claim to take responsibility in the European security dialogue. It offers an exclusive environment that facilitates confidential discussions, technological progress, and strategic coordination in equal measure. The leading trade fair for internal and external security thus provides orientation for a future in which resilience and innovative strength are decisive prerequisites for peace and stability.
