Showcasing the latest innovations and sector trends

Milipol Paris is an event dedicated to homeland security and safety. Over 30,000 visitors and 1,000 exhibitors are expected for the 23rd edition, which will be held on 14-17 November 2023 at Paris-Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre.

A historic event

The event is organised every two years under the auspices of the French Ministry of Interior in partnership with several governmental bodies. Its first edition was held in 1984, a time when information systems were in their infancy; when video surveillance had just begun to emerge, and when the RAID (French elite special forces) wasn't created yet (only a year after)! 

For almost 40 years, Milipol Paris has enjoyed a worldwide status as the leading event dedicated to the security profession. It provides the perfect forum for presenting the latest technological innovations in the area, effectively meeting the needs of the sector as a whole and addressing current threats and dangers.
