Latvia at KADEX 2026: Strengthening Defense and Dual-Use Strategic Partnerships

As KADEX 2026 gathers over 2,000 exhibitors from 50 countries and attracts approximately 100,000 defense industry buyers, the Latvian delegation aims to foster bilateral economic relations and explore new export opportunities within the defense and dual-use sectors. Our focus is on establishing long-term synergies with Korea’s leading industry players and associations.

The mission highlights include:

• Strategic B2B meetings with major Korean defense companies and industry associations.
• Participation in the Korea Army International Defense Exhibition to showcase Latvian-engineered innovation.
• A high-level networking event at the Embassy of the Republic of Latvia on October 8, designed to facilitate direct dialogue between industry leaders and government representatives.

Latvia’s participation in this mission is dedicated to driving technological excellence and exploring joint ventures in the global defense market.

The trade mission is organized by LIAA within the framework of the Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SME) Innovative Business Development Program and the "Support for the Improvement of the Technology Transfer System" project, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund and the Latvian state budget.
