European Defense Tech Festival

AUGUST 20-23 | SECRET AIRPORT NEAR BERLIN

The Largest Gathering of Defense Tech Builders in Europe.

One Hangar. One Weekend. 1000+ Builders Demoing Europe’s Most Promising Defense Tech Projects.

Dozens of projects and companies have emerged from, participated in, or supported the European Defense Tech Hackathon circuit. Now it’s time to see what they’ve actually built!

We’re bringing together 1000+ builders, EDTH alumni, early-stage startups, military operators, investors, procurement officials, and industry leaders for four days in a secret hangar just outside Berlin.

We’ll have a kilometer-long airstrip — enough space to fly everything from quadcopters to fixed-wing drones. Or even entire airplanes.

This is not a hackathon. This is the next step after the hackathon:

Real operators giving direct feedback, startups meeting industry and procurement, investors scouting emerging capabilities, and teams finding the partners they need to move from prototype to deployment.

If you want to see Europe’s most promising defense tech teams in action — and meet them before everyone else does — this is the place.
