According to CTech, organizers told the companies there is no space available for their pavilions, and the show's website says all exhibition space has been booked. Around 2,400 companies from about 50 countries are expected at the biennial show.
At the Euronaval naval exhibition, which opens next week in Paris, the French government is allowing Israeli companies to display defensive systems only. At the 2025 Paris Air Show, the Israeli pavilions were cordoned off with wooden panels and black fabric, and organizers said the companies were displaying offensive weapons.
Since October 7, the French government has taken steps that hindered Israeli companies' participation in several major arms exhibitions in Paris, including the Paris Air Show at Le Bourget and Eurosatory. It is not known whether a solution will be found that allows the Israeli companies to take part next summer.
