Location: Gothenburg, Sweden

Navy Tech & Seabed Defence 2026 combines a three‑day conference and tabletop exhibition focused on the transformation of naval capabilities in an era defined by increasingly complex threats. The event covers key themes such as:

  • Emerging threats from uncrewed and autonomous systems
  • Cyber and electronic warfare across the naval domain
  • Digital integration and multi‑domain maritime operations
  • Protection of subsea energy networks, communication cables, and offshore infrastructure through the dedicated Seabed Defence program

With global reliance on subsea assets rising, the addition of the Seabed Defence component highlights the growing strategic importance of safeguarding critical underwater infrastructure. The program brings together naval forces, policymakers, engineers, scientists and industry leaders to explore the technologies, operational concepts and innovations required to secure the seabed in an increasingly contested environment.
