Japan's Only Fully Integrated Defence Event

DSEI Japan is the only large-scale, fully integrated defence event in the country, bringing together the global defence industry and Japan’s defence community.

With public sentiment shifting towards increased defence spending and changes to Japan’s pacifist stance, defence companies now have more opportunities to proactively engage with overseas Ministries of Defence.

As a result, events like DSEI Japan have gained significant importance, attracting strong domestic and international interest. The 2023 edition featured over 290 exhibitors from around the world and hosted a range of high-level conferences, seminars, and bilateral meetings with world-class speakers.

DSEI brought industry, policy, and strategic leaders together in a collaborative forum to discuss regional security issues, for the first time in Japan. This was a pivotal event, signalling Japan as a leader in defense technology and security partnership. Certainly, more events like this will occur as the 'Pacific Century' unfolds and Japan grows into its role as a pillar of regional stability.

Japan is a key market and we wanted the opportunity to be here. It has been successful for a first time show. Day One was busy and the team are happy with the level of visitors and delegations. We’ve just opened a bigger office in Tokyo and are pleased with the quality as we look to expand in the region

DSEI Japan was an excellent opportunity for UK companies to showcase their capabilities in the defence sector. It was also an important opportunity to get a clearer idea of future requirements for Japan and the region
Adam Thomas MBE
Senior Press Officer and Spokesman, UK Department for International Trade, Defence
There were a range of capabilities that we wanted to exhibit at DSEI Japan. We have seen many delegations from many countries and had good feedback. We hope for even closer collaboration between not just the UK, but US, Europe and ASEAN countries
