The most successful trade show focused on strengthening defense and security took place at the Brno Exhibition Centre.

This year, more than 650 exhibiting companies from 35 countries were featured and over 35 thousand visitors visited the fairs in the course of three days.

The new Czech Pandur 8x8 EVO vehicle, presented by Tatra Defence Vehicle, a CSG Group company, had its world premiere at IDET. It is not just a vehicle, but an entire modular platform with its own ecosystem, in the development and production of which the Czech Republic participates in more than two thirds. The symbolic christening was performed by the Czech Defence Minister Jana Černochová, who bravely hit the world's newest vehicle with a stream of champagne in front of a crowd of journalists.
