DELIVERED AT DTM27 · 12 AND 13 MAY 2027, BERLIN
Everything it takes to field new capabilities.
Europe's leading defence and space speakers
The leaders holding defence budgets, the founders building what comes next, and the policymakers writing the rules for both.
The most impactful Defence and Space matchmaking programme
Curated 1:1s with the Guardians who hold the mandate to buy, ending in collaborations and contracts signed.
Curated invite-only roundtables
Closed sessions where materials leaders, innovators and policy leaders start the joint initiatives that move the industry and its regulation.
Europe's #1 defence and space exhibition
Two days of uncrewed systems, sensors and effectors you can see up close.

What you can expect
Six commercial tracks. Two days. One room.
ISR & Target Acquisition
DTM27 convenes armed forces, primes and innovators compressing the sensor-to-decision chain. The result: coordinates you can act on, from sensors and data you control.
/
AI
/
SAR satellites
/
UAS payloads
/
automatic target recognition
/
sensor fusion
Command, Control and AI-Enabled Decision Support
DTM27 brings together operations commands and the teams turning fused data into orders. The effect: decisions in minutes, and a picture allies can actually plug into.
/
AI
/
battle management
/
combat cloud
/
dynamic targeting
/
federated mission networking
Cost-Effective Deep Precision Strike
Across two days, DTM27 gathers fires leaders and the builders making effects affordable at scale. The impact: affordable mass, and guidance that survives jamming.
/
AI
/
loitering munitions
/
low-cost turbojets
/
GNSS-denied guidance
/
terminal seekers
Aerial and Drone Defence
In one room, DTM27 puts air defence leaders alongside the builders collapsing cost per intercept. What changes: a thousand-euro threat no longer answered with a million-euro missile.
/
AI
/
counter-UAS
/
passive RF detection
/
interceptor drones
/
high-power microwave
Sovereign Access to Space
DTM27 connects programme owners with the companies building European access to orbit. The outcome: launch dates a programme can plan against.
/
AI
/
micro-launchers
/
green propulsion
/
orbital transfer vehicles
/
responsive launch
Earth Observation Data and Analytics
DTM27 pairs risk and operations leaders with the providers turning orbital data into answers. The payoff: assets, borders and infrastructure watched continuously instead of inspected occasionally.
/
AI
/
SAR imagery
/
thermal imaging
/
RF geolocation
/
analysis-ready data
