German Defence Technology Group

Supporting SMEs in the defence industry

Under the banner “German Defence Technology”, the BDI's German Defence Technology Group (GWM) coordinates the joint participation of its members at important foreign trade fairs on defence, such as the EUROSATORY show in Paris or the DEFENCE SERVICES ASIA exhibition in Malaysia.
You can find further information on the CCO Creative Consulting GmbH website, the company which coordinates the German pavilion. Grouped under the "German Defence Technology" banner, the SMEs in particular acquire an easily recognisable public face, which helps them survive on this fiercely competitive international market.

Since the GWM startet out in 1997, participation of German exhibitors in overseas trade fairs has quadrulped (to eight trade shows annually at present). The GWM currently has 92 members.

The support politicians and the military provide to German exhibitors on location remains crucial to their success.
