Innovation at the Very Heart of the Event

The Milipol Innovation Awards are back this year, giving exhibitors at Milipol Paris the chance to shine a spotlight on their most creative and forward-thinking solutions for the security and safety sector. The competition is split into five categories: Cybersecurity & AI, Individual Equipment / First Responder Protection, Drone & Anti-Drone Systems / Robotics, Crisis Management, and CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility).

To qualify, entries need to be products or solutions launched or officially announced since 2023. Prototypes can also be submitted, as long as they can be demonstrated to the jury if requested. Taking part is free of charge, but only open to exhibiting companies that are not represented on the jury. All entries must be submitted in English through the Exhibitor Area.

An international jury of specialists will be reviewing the submissions. They’ll look closely at just how innovative each project is, as well as its potential in the market. The top entries will be shortlisted and announced on 31 October, and the winners will be revealed during a special ceremony on 18 November 2025 at Milipol Paris.

This year, there’s some welcome news for anyone still finalising their applications: the deadline to take part has been extended to 2 October 2025, 11:59pm. That gives exhibitors a little more breathing space to put the finishing touches to their entries. With categories covering everything from cutting-edge AI tools to life-saving protective gear and sustainable initiatives, the Milipol Innovation Awards are a unique chance to gain visibility and recognition on one of the industry’s biggest stages.
