Edito Thierry REGOND, President EDEN Cluster
At a time when internal security and defence needs are rapidly evolving, MILIPOL provides a unique opportunity for dialogue between public authorities, industrial contractors and innovative companies.
The EDEN Cluster, the global security cluster, is reasserting the decisive contribution of SMEs and mid-cap companies to technological sovereignty, supply chain resilience and the operational performance of the armed forces.
This edition brings together 35 EDEN members and a 200 m² pavilion. This collective presence illustrates our ability to offer technological building blocks and complete systems covering all the needs of the armed forces. It also demonstrates our ongoing commitment to quality, regulatory compliance and exports.
The challenges facing our companies are well known: securing supplies, ramping up industrial production, making the profession attractive and consolidating critical skills. EDEN's SMEs and mid-cap companies are responding through investment, controlled industrialisation and a focus on results, in compliance with standards and security requirements. They are committed to longterm partnerships with public and private contractors, promoting interoperability, open architectures and the sustainability of the solutions deployed.
Our priority is clear: to accelerate the provision of capabilities that meet user needs by strengthening the relationship between the field, design offices and production sites. EDEN acts as a catalyst for this dynamic: it facilitates cooperation, promotes international visibility and supports the structuring of collective responses, in the service of French sovereignty and competitiveness.
In addition, EDEN is stepping up its efforts in the area of European inter-clustering between SMEs and mid-cap companies. By bringing together complementary networks – technological, industrial and geographical – we aim to facilitate the creation of cross-border value chains, coordinated access to European programmes and the implementation of operational collective responses that can be exported.
I would like to warmly thank all the exhibiting companies, our institutional and industrial partners, and the teams involved. I invite our visitors to come and discover, at our pavilion, concrete, operational and proven solutions, supported by SMEs and mid-cap companies that are the strength of our industrial and technological base in defence and security.
Meet us Hall 5 Booths F 155 / G 151 / H 149 at Milipol 2025 Paris Nord Villepinte 18-21 November, 2025!
