SAVE THE DATE: NATO Edge 26

The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) is excited to announce that the next edition of NATO Edge will take place from 17 to 19 November 2026 in İzmir, Türkiye.

In today’s complex and quickly evolving security landscape, NATO Allies have conveyed the need for speed, scale and readiness delivery across all domains. In response, NATO Edge 26 will focus on strengthening NATO’s readiness and warfighting posture through faster, smarter and more scalable cooperation with industry.

The first and second editions of NATO Edge in Mons, Belgium, and Tampa, United States, were a great success. NCIA is excited to continue building upon this legacy in Türkiye in 2026 with a refreshed format prioritizing industry partnerships for effective solution delivery.

The 2026 edition will place industry engagement at the forefront, with more direct interaction and focused briefings, widened understanding of NATO’s upcoming procurement requirements and priorities, as well as greater opportunities to showcase industry solutions to NATO decision-makers, end-users and potential partners.

NATO Edge is NCIA’s flagship technology event that facilitates collaboration between NATO decision-makers, government industry and academic partners, to collectively explore innovative solutions to strengthen NATO capabilities. This event is a combination of the technology and business dimensions of NCIA’s two previous successful events – the NATO Information Assurance Symposium (NIAS) and the former flagship industry conference, NITEC.
