"Startup. Innovate. Disrupt. Secure. – Shaping Germany's Resilience at the AFCEA Exhibition 2025!"

Do you have a groundbreaking idea or product that can revolutionize the public sector or the defense industry? Present your startup at the Startup Exhibition Area of the AFCEA Emerging Leader at the 38th AFCEA Exhibition on May 27 and 28, 2025, in Bonn – and actively shape the future!

What to expect?

  • Exclusive exhibition space for startups: The AFCEA Exhibition offers you a first-class platform to put your company in the spotlight. In the exhibition area reserved specifically for startups, you have the opportunity to present your technologies and solutions to a wide audience from business, science, and the public sector.
  • Discover new markets: We are looking for startups that are not necessarily active in the public sector or in the field of defense and security, but those that recognize this as a promising market with great potential. Your product could create real added value to strengthen Germany's resilience – whether through innovative technologies, digital solutions, or creative approaches to current challenges.
  • Individual support: AFCEA Bonn e.V., together with POSSIBLE, BASED, and PwC NextLevel, will help you make your startup visible, increase your reach, and establish valuable contacts.
  • Exclusive pitch & panel session: We offer outstanding founders the opportunity to present their ideas to a high-caliber audience on May 28, 2025, at 11:05 AM in the plenary hall and convince potential customers and investors.
