For more than 40 years, the Milipol brand has been synonymous with world-class events dedicated to homeland security and safety. Established in 1984, the network now spans four continents through Milipol Paris, Milipol Qatar, Milipol TechX (MTX) in Singapore, and Milipol India.

Together, these exhibitions have become the foremost international platforms where governments, law enforcement agencies, and industry leaders convene to exchange knowledge, showcase technology, and forge partnerships in the field of internal security.

 

Milipol Paris: The Flagship of Homeland Security

Launched in 1984 under the patronage of the French Ministry of the Interior, Milipol Paris has established itself as the world’s leading exhibition for homeland security and safety. Held every two years in odd-numbered years, the event draws thousands of professionals to the Paris-Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre. The 2023 edition welcomed more than 1,100 exhibitors and over 30,000 professional visitors from 160 countries, alongside 175 official delegations and 300 international journalists.

As the global benchmark, Milipol Paris covers a vast range of sectors, from law enforcement and civil defence to cybersecurity, data protection, and the fight against terrorism. The upcoming 2025 edition, scheduled for 18–21 November, promises to be more innovative than ever. Artificial intelligence will be at the heart of the programme, with a new series of conference sessions exploring its applications in forensic science, cybercrime prevention, cold case investigations, and post-disaster identification.

Visitors will also discover new features such as a Demo Arena for live demonstrations, the Milipol Lab for start-up innovations, and themed areas focused on forensics, crisis management, and cyber threats. The Milipol Innovation Awards will once again recognise groundbreaking technologies across five categories, including drones and robotics, cybersecurity, and corporate social responsibility. For its 24th edition, Milipol Paris continues to set the standard as the must-attend event for security professionals worldwide.

 

Milipol Qatar: Strengthening Security in the Middle East

Since its inception, Milipol Qatar has become the premier homeland security event in the Middle East, held every two years in Doha under the high patronage of His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Emir of Qatar. Organised in partnership with Qatar’s Ministry of Interior, the exhibition showcases the latest technological solutions while also serving as a platform for high-level dialogue and cooperation between states.

The 15th edition, which concluded on 31 October 2024, attracted more than 14,500 professional visitors and 360 official delegates from 42 countries. A total of 255 exhibitors representing 26 nations participated, and the event recorded around €210.5 million worth of contracts signed during its three-day run. International participation was particularly strong, with six national pavilions and the debut of seven new countries, including Greece, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia.

The next edition is scheduled for 20–22 October 2026 at the Doha Exhibition & Convention Centre, with expectations for continued growth and innovation.

 

Milipol TechX (MTX): Innovation in the Asia-Pacific

Milipol TechX (MTX) has become a flagship event for public safety and homeland security. First launched in 2005, the exhibition is organised in partnership with Singapore’s Home Team Science & Technology Agency (HTX) under the auspices of both the French Ministry of the Interior and Singapore’s Ministry of Home Affairs.

The event combines a large-scale exhibition with the Milipol TechX Summit, a high-level conference addressing the most pressing security challenges in the region. The 2024 edition, themed “Powering Innovation: A Safe & Secure Future,” brought together government officials, operational experts, industry leaders, and academia to discuss strategies and share technological trends. With over 300 exhibitors from 31 countries, 11,600 visitors, and more than 2,400 conference attendees, the event underscored its status as the region’s leading security platform.

Artificial intelligence once again featured prominently, with discussions centred on how AI can be deployed in homeland security by governments, industries, and research institutions. The Milipol TechX Summit provided opportunities for participants to debate best practices in AI integration, border security, cyber defence, and emergency response. The next edition will take place from 28–30 April 2026 at Marina Bay Sands Expo, Singapore.

 

Milipol India: A Growing Force in the Indo-Pacific

The newest addition to the Milipol Network, Milipol India, was launched in 2022 in partnership with the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI). Designed to serve the Indo-Pacific region, the exhibition provides a platform for dialogue and innovation in the fast-growing Indian security market.

The second edition, held in April 2025 at the India International Convention and Expo Centre (Yashobhoomi – IICC) in New Delhi, attracted more than 150 exhibitors and over 4,000 security professionals. Companies from India, France, the UAE, the US, and the Netherlands presented state-of-the-art solutions in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, drone technology, and armaments. A strong programme of regional conferences and technology demonstrations further enhanced the event’s appeal.

Together, the four exhibitions of the Milipol Network create a unique global ecosystem dedicated to homeland security. From Paris to Doha, Singapore to New Delhi, each event reflects the specific priorities of its host country while contributing to international dialogue and innovation.
