Arms Fairs

The Omega Research Foundation has a long history of collating, analysing, and making public information on arms and security trade fairs from around the world. We use this data to monitor the activity of arms companies, identify the launch of new and potentially abusive products, and to expose gaps in existing laws and regulations designed to control the manufacture, promotion, and trade of military, security, and policing (MSP) weapons and equipment. 

We know that the data we collect is useful for researchers, journalists, human rights activists, and anyone else who is interested in exploring and challenging the global arms trade. For this reason we are  working in collaboration with Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) to make the data we have on arms and security fairs and the companies that attend them publicly available.

The table below contains all the the arms and security fairs on which we have data. Click the “+” button on the right hand side to see more information about the event including exhibitor lists where available.
