Countering Explosive Threat & Demining Conference 2025

Advancing EOD and C-IED Capabilities: Cooperation, Innovation, and Capacity Building

Join us on 23-24 September 2025 in Copthorne Tara, London, UK for the Countering Explosive Threat & Demining Conference!

In response to increasing levels of explosive threats and contamination, it is imperative to provide advanced equipment to enhance the safety and efficiency of clearance operations. The contamination in the Middle East presents a unique opportunity for industry providers to demonstrate solutions that support governments, military, and humanitarian groups in tackling extensive mine action and EOD requirements.

Harnessing Advanced Technology and Training in EOD and C-IED

With the advancement of technologies such as drones, robotics, and sensors, there is significant market potential to be explored. The evolving global situation necessitates the development of comprehensive and efficient requirements within the EOD and demining sectors.

Day One: Focus on enhancing counter-explosive ordnance (EO) capabilities, building national capacities in conflict zones, and fostering international cooperation in demining and EO disposal. Key discussions include readiness, resource utilisation, training programs, and addressing legacy contamination, with insights from military, humanitarian, and industry perspectives.

Day Two: The emphasis is on future directions in EOD and C-IED operations, highlighting advancements in AI, robotics, and remote sensing technologies. Sessions explore innovative approaches to detection and disposal, integrating mine action with humanitarian development, and leveraging technology to enhance the safety and efficiency in EOD operations.

What's New for 2025

• Collaborative Discussions: Engage in increased interactive discussions and panels fostering collaboration between military units, industry, and NGOs, leading to innovative solutions and more effective counter-EO efforts.
• Innovative Funding Strategies and Capacity Building: Learn about innovative funding strategies for demining activities to secure essential resources for your projects.
• AI and Robotics Advancements: Explore how AI and robotics are revolutionising demining and EOD efforts with advanced algorithms and autonomous systems designed to detect and dispose of explosive devices more efficiently and safely.
• Data Collection and Interoperability: Discover best practices for collection and storing on ammunition, explosive ordnance, and mine action to improve coordination and operational efficiency.
