KSSSE AT MSPO 2026 IN KIELCE

The opening day of the 34th International Defence Industry Exhibition MSPO 2026 in Kielce – one of the most important defence and security events in Europe – is behind us. This year's record-breaking edition brought together 1,209 exhibitors from 43 countries and 60 official foreign delegations.
KSSSE was represented by Tomasz Pisarek – President of the Management Board, Antoni Sołtys – Member of the Management Board, and Iwona Sztuka – Deputy Marketing Director.

At the impressive WB Group stand we met Stefan Głuszczak, Supply Managing Director at Hanwha WB Advanced System. It was a special occasion, because during the first day of MSPO the WB Group presented four new solutions: X-LiftAir, WARMATE 8X, GLADIUS 2 and STAR Hyperion – technologies that expand capabilities in reconnaissance, unmanned systems, strike and logistics.

As invited guests, we also took part in a meeting at the Netherlands Pavilion, which brought together more than 40 companies from the defence & dual-use sector who came to Kielce as part of a special Dutch trade mission. We spoke with H.E. Jennes de Mol, Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Poland, and directly with entrepreneurs interested in business development and investment in western Poland.

For organising the meeting and creating a space for concrete business talks, we thank Łukasz Chodkowski of the Netherlands-Poland Chamber of Commerce. With Tomasz Mackiewicz, Head of the Mechanical Engineering Research Group at Łukasiewicz - Poznański Instytut Technologiczny, we discussed opportunities for cooperation in R&D and the use of the Institute's research and development potential by zone businesses.

We are already planning the next step – a joint event for KSSSE companies, during which we will present opportunities for cooperation with the Institute and solutions supporting the development and implementation of innovative technologies.

For KSSSE, MSPO is not only about the latest technologies. Above all, it is about relationships that can translate into new projects, R&D cooperation and investment in western Poland.
