Over 50 American Companies Come Together at Key Trade Event for Defense Industry, Showcasing Innovation and Partnership

Kielce, Poland and Waldwick, NJ, USA — August 31, 2026 — Next week in Kielce, Poland, the international defense industry will come together for one of the most important trade shows in the region, MSPO 2026, and American industry will have a prominent presence at this annual event. The 34th edition of MSPO is set to be a record-breaking year, with over 1,200 exhibiting companies from 43 different countries. 

MSPO not only brings together leading companies, organizations, and delegations from countries all over the world, but the show is a key gateway to the regional defense and security market. Poland has one of NATO’s most ambitious defense investment programs—the country’s 2026 defense budget is approximately USD 53.2 billion, the equivalent of 4.81% of forecasted GDP. Poland is also placing greater emphasis on strengthening its domestic industrial base. Given this demand for military defense and security capabilities, MSPO provides key opportunities for American companies to leverage the nation’s growing investment.  

The USA Partnership Pavilion, organized by Kallman Worldwide, will serve as the hub for American business and commerce at the show. The pavilion spans nearly 2,000 square meters and will feature 52 leading U.S. companies, including three state Pavilions from California, Georgia, and Alabama. 18 of these companies are new to the show, bringing innovative technology and products. The American companies cover a range of industries, from manufacturers of small connectors to missile OEMs, fighter jet OEMs, tank OEMs, and consultants. 

This year, the U.S. Pavilion continues its tradition as the largest international group presence at MSPO. Together, these exhibitors embody the strength of industry across 26 U.S. states and highlight the depth and diversity of American solutions. The expanded USA Partnership Pavilion presence this year also reinforces the importance of continued partnership between American and Polish industry as trusted defense and security partners.  

At MSPO 2026, the USA Partnership Pavilion and Kallman Foundation will proudly present a donation to a local organization, Caritas Kielce, on behalf the U.S. exhibitors. Kallman Foundation is the corporate social responsibility arm of Pavilion organizer Kallman Worldwide with a mission to strengthen communities around the world through aid, education, and goodwill. By connecting global industry with local impact, the Foundation aims to expand the reach of each trade show into the communities that host them. Caritas Kielce is a local charity that helps approximately 30,000 people in need annually and a representative from the organization will be present at the Welcome Reception to receive the donation.
