Saab to Exhibit at National Defence Expo 2026 in Stockholm, Sweden

Saab will participate as an exhibitor at National Defence Expo Sweden. During the exhibition, the company will present its CBRN protection solutions and demonstrate how the technology contributes to increased preparedness and resilience in Swedish society during crises and conflicts.

Strong Interest in National Defence Expo Sweden
Interest in National Defence Expo Sweden continues to grow, with several major organizations within defense, security, technology, and critical infrastructure already confirmed as exhibitors. Previous exhibitors announced include Snigel, Atea, Blackthorn, Aimpoint, and Swedish Armed Forces. Saab now joins the growing list of exhibitors.

“Saab joining as an exhibitor is very important news for us and demonstrates the strong interest in bringing together Sweden’s entire total defence sector on one common platform. We are seeing strong engagement from both civilian and military stakeholders, and the ambition is to create the Nordic region’s most important meeting place for total defence,” says Monika Johannesen Widholm, Head of Event Unit Resilience & Mobility at Stockholmsmässan – Exhibition and Congress Centre.

Focus on CBRN and Civil Preparedness
At the exhibition, Saab will present selected solutions within defense and total defence, with a particular emphasis on CBRN protection against chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats.

“National Defence Expo Sweden is an important meeting place for Sweden’s total defence sector and a natural forum for us to showcase Saab’s capabilities and how we can contribute to a stronger and more resilient Swedish society. At the exhibition, we will present our CBRN protection solutions, which enhance the ability to manage chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats — a central component of a modern and robust total defence system. Here, we meet stakeholders from across Swedish society and have the opportunity to demonstrate how our solutions contribute to increased preparedness and protection in both crises and conflicts,” says Nils-Erik Lindblom, Head of Marketing and Sales PU Infrastructure and Land Systems at SAAB.
