Enforce Tac – The trade fair for security and defence


Enforce Tac is the protected, exclusive network for security professionals from government agencies and the military. As a restricted-access trade fair, it offers a secure space for confidential exchanges, strategic dialogue and the presentation of innovative solutions. Here, forward thinkers encounter state-of-the-art technologies – in an environment that builds trust and promotes professional discourse.

Friedrich Merz as patron of Enforce Tac 2026

Under the patronage of Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz, the central theme of Enforce Tac 2026 is ‘Networked Security – Implementing comprehensive defence: comprehensive, mission-oriented and innovative’. It forms the framework for discussions, product presentations and specialised lectures and emphasises the importance of a holistic, networked security architecture in times of complex threatening situations.

Working together for greater security – today and tomorrow

As a future lab for official security, Enforce Tac stands for practical innovations that bring lasting change to everyday operations. The trade fair is aimed exclusively at qualified trade visitors from authorities and organisations with police and/or military security tasks – for a targeted, highly specialised atmosphere at the highest level and trusting cooperation for sustainable security.
