TechEx Europe 2026 — two days of AKINAK-AG at stand 210, RAI Amsterdam

On 19–20 October GPO Defence Technologies exhibited at TechEx Europe 2026 at RAI Amsterdam — stand 210.

TechEx Europe is an enterprise technology event that brings together the AI & Big Data Expo and a set of co-located shows on automation, cyber security, IoT and digital transformation. At a show built around enterprise AI, ours was the only defence-technology stand — and onboard AI that is already in operational use drew a queue at stand 210 on both days.

On our stand

• Live demo of AKINAK-AG. The ~100 g module ran on a live camera feed and showed real-time detection, classification and tracking on screen. All processing ran on the module — no ground station, no cloud. The demo was static: no flights in the hall.
• Our flight-operations team. Drone operators with front-line experience in Ukraine were on the stand with us. Many visitors came to hold the drones, ask how the system behaves under jamming and shake hands with the people who fly them.
• Meetings. Two days of scheduled meetings with defence, research, regional-innovation and investment teams, and many walk-in conversations about integrating the module on existing FPV and VTOL platforms — see OEM integration.

AKINAK-AG is in operational use with Ukrainian forces against ground targets. Any engagement decision requires explicit operator authorisation — by architecture, not by policy.

The ENAREI banners and counter on the stand belong to our separate reconnaissance product — see enarei.gpo-tech.com.

Thank you to the TechEx Europe team and to everyone who stopped by. If we met in Amsterdam and you would like to continue — an evaluation kit, integration questions or a follow-up call — write to us through the contact form. Field footage from the stand screen is in the media library.

Next stops: DECOI × Borderland in Helsinki on 17 November, followed by Slush on 18–19 November.
