Meet Blue Cluster at BEDEX 2026 in Brussels
The Brussels European Defense Exhibition & Conference (BEDEX) brings together companies, research institutions and policymakers working in defence, security and strategic technologies. Blue Cluster will also be present. You are welcome to visit us at the Damen stand (Hall 7, stand 449), where you will also find MULTI.Engineering and IDP Shipyard.
At a time of growing focus on maritime security and the protection of critical infrastructure, we highlight the strengths of the Flemish blue ecosystem. We demonstrate how innovation, dual-use applications and collaboration contribute to a strong and resilient maritime environment.
Key themes
During BEDEX, we focus on:
- Protection of critical maritime infrastructure (energy assets, subsea cables, ports)
- Maritime monitoring, situational awareness and data-driven security
- Autonomous and unmanned systems
- Dual-use technologies with both civil and defence applications
- European collaboration opportunities in security and defence
We look forward to discussing how innovation within the blue ecosystem can contribute to safety, resilience and strategic autonomy.
