November 24–26, 2026 | VDNH, Pavilion No. 20 “FORUM” | Moscow, Russia
Interpolitex returns for its landmark 30th anniversary edition in 2026, reaffirming its position as Russia’s largest and oldest professional exhibition for state security provision. Organized with the support of the Russian Federation Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Federal Security Service, and the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation, the event serves as the definitive platform where government agencies and the security industry meet to evaluate, discuss, and procure the technologies that safeguard the nation.
A Legacy of Security Innovation
First held in 1995, Interpolitex has grown into a Congress and Exhibition event of federal status and importance. The 2026 edition marks the 30th time the exhibition has been convened, a milestone that underscores its enduring role in Russia’s security landscape. As the oldest professional expo platform for security specialists in Russia and the CIS region, Interpolitex has consistently provided suppliers and end-users with an effective tool for promotional and marketing tasks, market monitoring, and direct negotiation.
Scale and Audience
Interpolitex consistently attracts a substantial and highly qualified audience. More than 6,000 specialists from over 60 regions of Russia visit the exhibition annually, representing the full spectrum of government security agencies. Invitations for the 2026 edition have been extended to regional divisions of Rosgvardia, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, EMERCOM, the Federal Penitentiary Service, the FSB, and the Federal Customs Service across all subjects of the Russian Federation.
The exhibition’s target audience includes representatives from key agencies: the Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Internal Affairs, EMERCOM, Rosgvardia, Ministry of Digital Development, FSB, Border Service, Federal Customs Service, Federal Protective Service, and Federal Penitentiary Service. Also participating are regional security ministries, anti-terrorism committees of Russian subjects, and security services of fuel, energy, and transport organizations. International anti-terrorist organizations from the CIS, SCO, and CSTO further contribute to the event’s international dimension.
Product Categories and Specialized Expositions
Interpolitex covers a comprehensive range of security and defense technologies, organized into thematic sections that reflect the evolving priorities of state security. The exhibition encompasses:
- Antiterrorism and law enforcement solutions
- National border protection technologies
- Fire safety and rescue equipment
- Tactical gear and body armor
- Medical solutions for security operations
- Surveillance and access control systems
- Communication and navigation equipment
- Robotics and unmanned systems
- Counter-drone technologies
- Weapons and special equipment
For 2026, several specialized expositions will be featured prominently. The “BORDER” exposition is dedicated to technologies for border, customs, and migration control—one of the most in-demand areas for the exhibition’s target audience. It will showcase technical means for border protection and customs control, migration control solutions, digital platforms and equipment for checkpoints and customs terminals, and IT solutions, communication systems.
The “Military Products Exposition” has been established by order of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSVTS Russia) No. 46-od dated May 21, 2026, with Rosoboronexport as the organizer. This exposition allows participants to display military and defense-related products, further enhancing the exhibition’s relevance to state procurement.
The “Integrated Object Protection Systems” exposition focuses on advanced solutions for physical, engineering, and information protection of critical and infrastructure facilities. Leading Russian developers and manufacturers will present integrated security systems combining video surveillance, access control, alarm systems, counter-UAV measures, and anti-terrorist and anti-sabotage protection solutions. Particular attention will be given to modular and scalable platforms with artificial intelligence elements for threat analysis and automatic response.
A dedicated “Equipment” exposition will address next-generation gear at the intersection of protection and high technology. Modern customers prioritize versatility and technological capability—equipment must not only protect but also help personnel make faster decisions, interact more effectively, and respond rapidly to threats. Solutions on display will range from combat equipment and night vision devices to specialized gear for NBC protection, demining, firefighting, rescue operations, and work in extreme conditions including the Far North, mountains, and water environments.
Business Program
Interpolitex features an extensive business program designed to address the practical needs of security professionals. Over three days, strategic sessions will cover the most demanded areas:
- State security technologies and integrated object protection systems
- Armaments, technologies, and unmanned systems
- Technical means of access control and border security
- Humanitarian demining and ammunition disposal
- Arctic security and fire safety of facilities
- Military education and training
- Antiterrorism technologies, emergency rescue operations, and disaster response
- Production of materials and components for special purposes
The business program includes the Digital Security Technologies Forum “CIFROTECH” and the “National Security” competition, which recognizes the most innovative developments in the security sector. Each session is designed not as abstract presentations but as discussions of concrete tasks, pilot implementations, and prospects for scaling solutions.
The results of discussions are documented in a final resolution and sent to relevant state bodies and industry associations, ensuring that the exhibition contributes directly to shaping the industry agenda.
Why Interpolitex Matters
Interpolitex is not merely an exhibition—it is a working platform where the industrial sector and the state communicate on equal terms. As the organizers describe it, the event represents “three days when the latest developments meet real tasks and transform into contracts, pilot projects, and industry standards”.
For manufacturers and developers, the exhibition offers direct access to customers. Heads and leading specialists of relevant agencies attend Interpolitex to see solutions “live,” compare technical specifications, and discuss implementation. Official delegations from government agencies conduct tours of the exposition, and specialized experts hold personal negotiations with manufacturers at their stands.
The event’s federal status and government support allow participants to display military, defense-related, and special products. The results of this work are directly connected to the stock of orders—primarily state orders—and the implementation of a number of Federal Target Programs.
