The Czech Republic will host the 16^th biennial defence and security forum, exhibition and networking within the FUTURE FORCES FORUM (FFF), taking place in Prague in the week of 19–23 October 2026.

Prague has been a long-time hub for international defence and security community networking within the FFF events, regularly hosting national delegations from over 70 countries. The forum is organised under the auspices of the President of the Czech Republic, Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, Minister of the Interior, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and in close cooperation with armed and security forces, NATO structures, European Defence Agency and other relevant authorities.

The program addresses the latest trends and needs in the defence and security area and helps to achieve the much sought-after interoperability within Multi-Domain Operations environment. Furthermore, it is important platform supporting cooperation of partner countries, international organisations, military, law enforcement and other security forces, the private sector, R&D, and academia across the globe. 

Based on the previous successful editions, we are convinced that participation in the FFF 2026 will serve as an excellent opportunity to gain, as well as to share information about new trends and approaches, identified capability gaps, to network with counterparts and to review the latest products and services in defence and security field.
