Design, management, and construction of the Canada Pavilion at the International Defence Industry Exhibition (MSPO) 2026

The Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD), commonly known as Global Affairs Canada (GAC), requires the design, physical construction, and dismantlement of a 1,206 m² exhibition pavilion at MSPO 2026 to provide exhibition, networking, and meeting space for Canadian delegates and trade commissioners to meet with local contacts.

In 2026, Canada’s designation as Lead Nation at MSPO requires an enhanced pavilion presence that delivers increased visibility, accommodates expanded programming, and supports a broad range of Canadian exhibitors, partners, and official engagements.

It will take place September 8-11, 2026, in Kielce, Poland. Participants are expected from across the region, NATO partner markets, and globally. Held annually, the 2026 edition is expected to be the largest yet, with 40,000+ visitors, 900+exhibitors, 60+ official delegations, and 2 new exhibition halls.
