AED Days 2026

The AED Days have established themselves as the primary national platform for making connections within the Portuguese aeronautics, space, and defence ecosystem. Significant international actors promote strategic dialogue on the current and future challenges of the sector, as well as the creation of concrete opportunities for collaboration and business partnerships. 

AED days 2026 will introduce a new dynamic to the event, with a reinforced three-day program and a more integrated experience between conferences, networking moments and exhibition area. 

One of the highlights will be the launch of a new Exhibition Area of about 1,000 m², designed to put participating companies at the center of the event, maximizing visibility and direct contact with decision-makers and business opportunities.

The Defence Industry Forum is a new event at AED Days 2026, a one-day meeting entirely dedicated to the defence field, which will take place on 28 May at the Estoril Congress Centre.

Organised by AED Cluster Portugal, in partnership with the Municipalities of Oeiras and Cascais, AED Days 2026 will once again bring together companies, policymakers, government entities, research centres, and international organisations, providing a privileged context to strengthen positions and develop new strategic partnerships.
