Waldwick, NJ, USA and Santiago, Chile — March 17, 2025 — This April, the United States and Canada will bring a large presence to FIDAE 2026, the leading aerospace and defense trade show in Latin America. 54 leading American companies representing 22 states will attend the show, along with 3 Canadian companies. These businesses will exhibit within the USA and Canada Partnership Pavilions, the central location for U.S. and Canadian industry, products, and services.
Held from April 7–12, 2026, in Santiago, Chile, FIDAE incorporates the full scope of commercial, military, and space interests in the region and features over 400 exhibiting companies from 57 different countries. The last show edition had over 950 delegations, making it a critical platform for reaching key decision makers in the region. The show is a gateway for companies looking to engage with Latin America’s rapidly growing aerospace and defense market. The USA and Canada Partnership Pavilions, hubs for North American companies exhibiting at the show, are designed to maximize visibility, facilitate meaningful connections, and support long-term business development in the region. The Pavilions, organized by Kallman Worldwide, will occupy over 1,000 square meters of space and will highlight the most innovative and cutting-edge technology in aerospace and defense. Exhibiting companies will present products and services on a wide array of topics covering everything from Caylym Technologies’ disaster response management, particularly wildfire response, to supporting the Argentine Air Force through Top Aces providing F-16 Instructor Pilot Training.
