In this exclusive interview filmed at BEDEX in Brussels, Charles Beaudoin, President of Coges Events and former French Army general, shares key insights into the rapidly evolving global defense landscape.
He discusses the growing urgency among armed forces to prepare for high-intensity conflict within short timeframes, the return of critical capabilities such as ground-based air defense and long-range artillery, and the rise of turnkey industrial solutions to accelerate production.
The interview also explores the increasing role of deep technologies, including artificial intelligence, commercial space, and advanced manufacturing, which are reshaping military operations and creating a new ecosystem where startups and major tech companies work alongside traditional defense industry players.
Looking ahead to Eurosatory 2026 in Paris, Beaudoin explains why the event remains a central hub for global defense cooperation, innovation, and strategic reflection, bringing together thousands of exhibitors, official delegations, and experts from around the world.
