With its  international alignment and focus ILA Berlin stands out as an Aerospace Show in Europe for more than 100 years. The show always went with the time and therefore covers all actual subjects that are significant for the industry.

A clear focal point lies on unmanned systems, ranging from Advanced Air Mobility (UAS/eVTOL) to Defence and Counter UAS applications.

Within an environment encompassing industry, procurement, military and OEM’s, precisely the context is emerging in which drone technology is currently being scaled, procured and industrialized through partnerships. ILA Berlin offers various platforms in order to address the needs of the drone industry with exhibition space, a drone cage, different contents like stage and programs as well as delegations and concrete business development; all in one location:

• Advanced Air Mobility / UAS Program: ILA shows explicitly the whole spectrum of unmanned aircraft systems and specifically addresses them in various sessions and formats.
• XXL drone cage: Within the show a large crone cage will be provided for live demonstrations
• Defence, security context: Inbound in the defence area (incl. Defennce Park as visual format) is the actual frame in which detection/defense, sensoric and EW as well as UAS applications become relevant.

Switzerland will be present again with the official SWISS Pavilion at ILA Berlin 2026 and offers its exhibitors a vast range of services like:

• Dedicated drone zone within the Pavilion, exhibitor registration allows to participate at official sessions and programs
• Large, welcoming  open space communal booth with tables and chairs to host meetings
• Centralized screen, showcasing all exhibitors two minute video or slide pitches
• Logo wall, incl. shelf for small showcases (approx. 20x20x20cm)
• Bistro services with coffee, drinks, snacks
• Networking events around the Swiss presence at ILA, arranged key player visits

Drone and counter UAS technologies profit actually from massively rising European and national defense investments. Parallel private financing of defense-tech-start-ups is constantly rising. Therefore 2026 is the ideal moment for Swiss drone companies to show their innovations and products in an environment of industry partners, decision makers as well as delegations. ILA is the place where partnerships, industrialization and procurement happens while the SWISS Pavilion guarantees a professional platform for a hassle free presence at the show.

Swiss companies will profit from an attractive participation model for a reasonable price of CHF 4’390.- all inclusive.
