About Milipol Paris

Milipol Paris is an international exhibition for homeland security and safety, held every two years at Paris Nord Villepinte under the aegis of the French Ministry of the Interior. It is a Civipol event, organised by Comexposium.

The exhibition covers equipment, technology and services for internal security, including policing and law enforcement, border and critical infrastructure protection, forensic investigation, special operations, crisis management and the growing range of digital and cyber threats. Exhibitors come from France and many other countries, with international companies making up a large share of the floor.

The audience is professional. Visitors include police and law enforcement bodies, armed forces, government agencies, emergency services and corporate security teams, together with a large number of official delegations from countries around the world. A conference programme runs alongside the exhibition.

For companies selling into government and law enforcement, Milipol Paris offers rare direct access to public sector buyers and the officials who shape procurement. Such markets can be slow and difficult to enter, and meeting delegations from many countries in a single week makes the show one of the key events in the international security calendar. Because many conversations are sensitive, exhibitors usually give as much thought to private meeting space as to product display.

Milipol Paris 2027: what to expect

The 25th edition of Milipol Paris runs from Tuesday 16 to Friday 19 November 2027 at Paris Nord Villepinte. The 2025 edition featured 1,171 exhibitors, 67 per cent of them from outside France, and welcomed 32,035 visitors from 160 countries, including 163 official delegations, according to the organiser.

Official delegations often arrive in groups at scheduled times, so stands should be able to host several people at once and offer a closed room for confidential discussions. Exhibitors planning to display vehicles, drones or other larger equipment should confirm access, floor loading and any rules on controlled items with the organiser well ahead of the show.
