DALO Industry Days 2026: Six Hours to Build It, Four Hours to Pack It — and Straight On to MSPO

— The inflated D-Dome hangar on the stand.

DALO Industry Days is one of Northern Europe’s most focused defence industry events, hosted by the Danish Ministry of Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (DALO). Unlike the very large trade fairs, it is built around direct contact between industry, armed forces and procurement people — two intense days, very little small talk, and decision-makers walking the floor. That is exactly the format that suits us.

We have just packed up our stand, and the short version is this: DALO 2026 was fantastic for us.
Six hours to build a complete deployable stand

We used roughly six hours to inflate and set up our entire stand. The centrepiece was our D-Dome inflatable hangar — and inside it we showed:

  • D-Pad — inflatable military water platform
  • D-Block Mini — compact inflatable cabin module
  • D-Bridge — inflatable emergency bridge system
  • D-Envelope — inflatable air envelope
 
— setup in progress.

Six hours, no cranes, no heavy machinery, no scaffolding — a full exhibition hangar with a complete product range inside it. That is the same capability our customers get in the field, and showing it live says more than any brochure.

Two busy days — and concrete results
We had visitors from all over Europe on the stand, and the conversations went far beyond “nice to meet you”. We agreed on several new ventures, and came home with concrete requests from among others:
  • the Swedish Air Force
  • the Danish Special Forces
  • our partner for Sweden, Promotech
  • a UK-based company looking for hangar systems
  • the Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency (FMA)
  •  the Swedish Defence Materiel Agency (FMV)
  • and a number of other defence and government customers

Two days, busy from open to close, and extremely effective. We will be back next year.

Four hours to pack — 9 pallets straight to Poland

Taking it down took approximately four hours: deflate, fold, pack — everything into nine pallets, ready for shipment. And those pallets are not going home. They are going directly to MSPO in Kielce, Poland, together with our new partner MILDAT.

A new chapter: MILDAT and the Polish market

Our cooperation with MILDAT is a new chapter in our story — a partnership agreement for the Polish market, one of the most active defence markets in Europe right now. Poland is investing heavily in mobility, shelter and rapid deployment capability, and MILDAT gives us the local presence and knowledge to serve those customers properly.

What happens next

We are heading home for about one and a half weeks — then straight back out:

  • :flag-tr: Turkey: a learning session with our partner TCK, plus a one-day live event at their location for leaders from Turkish defence, government and other customers who want to see our products in action. We are looking very much forward to that one.
  • :flag-pl: Poland: we fly home, and the day after we fly to MSPO in Kielce.

All in all: a lot happening at once — and the future looks bright for us.

Next up: MSPO 2026, Kielce, 8–11 September

MSPO is the 34th International Defence Industry Exhibition and the largest defence trade fair in Central and Eastern Europe. We will be there from 8 to 11 September 2026 together with MILDAT — with the same equipment that just came off the floor at DALO.
