LANDEURO 2025
The inauguration of the LANDEURO exhibition in Wiesbaden, held on 16 and 17 July 2025 at the RheinMain Congress Centre, and to be held annually as declared by the organisers, marked a major event in the field of land defence in Europe. This is the first edition of this international symposium and exhibition, organised by the Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA), with the support of the US Army Europe & Africa.
The opening ceremony brought together military personnel, political decision-makers, industrialists and government officials from the United States, Europe, and other regions of the world, against a geopolitical backdrop marked by the security challenges in Ukraine and the need to strengthen collaboration between allies. The speeches particularly emphasised the importance of increased international cooperation, technological innovation, and adaptation to new threats.
The theme chosen for this first edition, ‘Transforming with allies for the combat of the future’, structured the debates, workshops and panels – with contributions from experts on:
- lessons learned from the conflict in Ukraine,
- technological developments in armaments,
- the transformation of the US Army
- the role of non-commissioned officers,
- and building stronger links with NATO and African partners.
Alongside the conferences, LANDEURO organised a technology exhibition, bringing together companies from the defence sector and innovative military solutions to promote networking and display new equipment.
The inauguration was part of the drive to position Wiesbaden – and the Hesse region – as a nerve centre for European defence and military cooperation.
