DefenseTech Summit

DefenseTech Week is an international summit focused on the technologies, strategies, and partnerships shaping the future of defense and global security. Drawing on Israel’s experience in the sector, the event brings together military and government leaders, technology companies, investors, startups, and researchers to examine practical challenges and emerging solutions. The next edition is scheduled for December 2–3, 2026, at Tel Aviv University.

The program combines international speakers, exhibitions, startup showcases, networking, and sessions grounded in real-world scenarios. Its topics include autonomous systems and AI-driven warfare, drones, robotic combat vehicles, cybersecurity, information warfare, battlefield medical technologies, defense innovation ecosystems, public-private partnerships, and international collaboration. A Demo Day gives defense startups an opportunity to gain exposure, while networking connects participants across the defense ecosystem, from venture capital to military and industry organizations.

DefenseTech Week also shares event recaps, recorded content, reports, and news covering developments in defense technology. Through discussions of operational lessons and innovation, it aims to connect the people and ideas influencing how nations address evolving security challenges.
