Mondial Secours et Protection · 2027

Agoris analysis · updated November 2026

Key takeaways

• Mondial Secours et Protection brings together three events under one banner: the Congrès national des sapeurs-pompiers de France (the French national firefighters' congress), an international trade show and a village open to the general public. The congress is the main event: it is the annual institutional gathering of the Fédération nationale des sapeurs-pompiers de France (FNSPF), to which the trade show and the village are attached.
• The 2027 edition hosts the 133rd national congress in Bordeaux, from Wednesday 13 to Saturday 16 October 2027, at the Parc des Expositions de Bordeaux, at Bordeaux Lac. The trade show is open from Wednesday 13 to Friday 15 October, 8:00 to 19:00, with a late opening until 22:00 on Wednesday.
• Organiser: the Comité d'Organisation de la Gironde (COGIR 2027), publisher of the official website, which is preparing the event with the Gironde fire and rescue service (SDIS), the Gironde departmental firefighters' union and the FNSPF.
• Annual frequency. The last three editions were held in different places: Le Mans in 2025, Haute-Savoie in 2026, Bordeaux in 2027.
• The official website describes the whole as the 2nd largest professional trade show in France. For an exhibitor, the programme brings together in one place SDIS directors, CASDIS chairs and the Federation's governing bodies.

Who exhibits

Typical profile

The 2027 website sums up the offer in one phrase: from response vehicles to digital solutions. The exhibitor list for the 2026 edition, in Haute-Savoie, gives a sense of the range: 356 exhibitors, grouped into fire equipment, specialist team equipment, first-aid and emergency care equipment, new technologies, training and publications, insurance, mutual insurers and banks, and suppliers to the voluntary network.

You therefore find vehicle body builders and manufacturers, makers of personal protective equipment, publishers of operational management and simulation software, suppliers of first-aid equipment, and also the mutual insurers and insurers that serve firefighters themselves. A Europe/World pavilion is announced for 2027 to host international innovation.

Notable exhibitors

The 2027 exhibitor list has not yet been published. Stand bookings for the commercial trade show go through the address given on the Participer page of the official website (msp.exposants@kit-group.org). Associations governed by the 1901 law are directed to the public village, which has its own booking address on the same page.

Visitor quality

The professional audience is first and foremost that of the congress: the website speaks of "elected officials and rescue professionals" and promises exhibitors "decision-makers and buyers from across the civil security sector". The 2027 programme adds sessions for CASDIS chairs, SDIS directors and deputy directors, for the professional and volunteer firefighters' committees, for the health and medical rescue service and for the voluntary network. No visitor profile statistics are published.

The congress also opens up internationally, with a conference for foreign delegations, held in English, and the meeting of the presidium of the Association of European Union firefighters. Meanwhile the village is aimed at the curious, families and enthusiasts, according to the website: it is not the commercial target of the trade show. No OJS certification or audited attendance figure is published for recent editions.

Activities & community

Conference programme

The 2027 programme is already online, as a document posted in June 2026 and therefore liable to change. The conferences are run by the FNSPF's committees and working groups, in rooms seating 150 to 500.

Announced themes include: standards, climate and innovation in fire equipment; artificial intelligence in first-aid training; the radio network of the future and firefighter communications; nautical rescue; innovation for mountain rescue; mental health care for firefighters; volunteering and the future of professional firefighters; and the role of health services in the event of a mass influx of casualties. Two major debates, organised by the Institut français de sécurité civile (IFRASEC) and the FNSPF, take place on Thursday 14 and Friday 15 October, on new technologies and then on geopolitical and societal change.

The institutional part culminates on Friday 15 October with the FNSPF general assembly, followed by an exchange of addresses between the Federation's president and the State's representative, then the closing ceremony.

Innovation and events

The programme provides for an inauguration ceremony at 11:00 on Wednesday 13 October. The same afternoon, a pitch by the ten finalists of the Prix de l'innovation des sapeurs-pompiers de France is announced, with ENSOSP, the Entente Valabre and IFRASEC among the coordinators of the session. The site plan also provides for an exhibition area on the lakeshore for navigation demonstrations, and for use of the neighbouring Stadium Vélodrome for sporting events.

Community & networks

The event is backed by the FNSPF and its network of departmental unions, together with the Mutuelle nationale des sapeurs-pompiers de France, which holds its board meeting the day before the opening. Bordeaux Métropole supports the 2027 edition with a grant and logistical support voted in January 2026.

On site: what you need to know

The event occupies the whole Bordeaux Lac site: the trade show and the village at the Parc des Expositions de Bordeaux, with its 50,400 m² single-span Hall 1 and an outdoor exhibition esplanade; the committee rooms at the neighbouring Palais 2 l'Atlantique; and the gala evening in Hall 3. The address given is Cours Jules Ladoumègue, 33000 Bordeaux.

Getting there: tram line C from Saint-Jean station, about 30 minutes according to the organiser; bus lines 37 and 75; by car via the A630, with a 7,000-space visitor car park. The organiser encourages car sharing and soft mobility, with self-service bike stations along the lakeshore.

2027 opening hours:

• National congress: from Wednesday 13 October at 14:30 to Friday 15 October at 19:00.
• International trade show: Wednesday 13 to Friday 15 October, 8:00 to 19:00, late opening until 22:00 on Wednesday.
• Public village: Wednesday 13 to Saturday 16 October, 9:00 to 20:00.

Registration for congress delegates and volunteers, public information and the catering offer are announced as coming soon on the official website, which already links to an accommodation platform with partner rates. School groups and seniors are admitted free of charge.

How much does it cost to exhibit

Planning your visit

For exhibitors

• Book early: the 2027 website already invites exhibitors to reserve their stand in order to prepare their visit.
• Choose between the commercial trade show and the public village: the website directs associations governed by the 1901 law to the village, which is not aimed at buyers.
• Match the committee programme to your offer: a conference on fire equipment, communications or first aid brings together precisely the decision-makers concerned.
• Plan meetings with SDIS management over the three days of the trade show, as Saturday is devoted to the village alone.
• Note the Wednesday late opening, announced until 22:00.

For decision-maker visitors

• Identify the useful committees in the programme, as room capacity is limited.
• Book accommodation early, via the dedicated platform shown on the Pratique page of the official website.
• Come by tram: line C serves Bordeaux Lac directly from Saint-Jean station.

CSR policy & initiatives

The organiser states a commitment to digital and environmental restraint, and applies it first to travel: it encourages the tram, car sharing and cycling to reach the site. The Bordeaux Métropole council decision on the 2027 edition also mentions an environmental responsibility approach. No formal CSR policy, carbon footprint assessment or ISO 20121 certification specific to the event is published at this stage.

The venue provides a better-documented framework: Beam, which operates the Parc des Expositions and the Palais 2 l'Atlantique, presents itself as an ISO 20121 certified organisation and publishes its sustainability commitments.

The content of the event also bears directly on climate issues, with a conference by the technical committee on standards, climate and emerging risks.

How the trade show has evolved

Trajectory analysis

The Congrès national des sapeurs-pompiers de France is a long-established institution, as its numbering shows: the 133rd edition will be held in Bordeaux. The recent change lies in the brand. Since 2026, the Federation has presented the congress, trade show and village together under the name Mondial Secours et Protection, and the Haute-Savoie edition was billed as the first Mondial.

The 2027 programme includes international elements: a Europe/World pavilion, a conference in English for foreign delegations, and a meeting of the European presidium. The 2027 edition will also change the scale of the site: whereas the 2026 edition was split between La Roche-sur-Foron and Annecy, Bordeaux concentrates congress, trade show and village on a single site, beside the lake.

The figures announced ahead of the event vary by source and are not a final tally: the only verifiable count remains the list of 356 exhibitors published for 2026. For a civil security supplier, the interest of the event does not lie in volume: according to the programme, it is the simultaneous presence of SDIS management, CASDIS chairs and the Federation's governing bodies.

The venue for the 2028 edition had not been announced to the editorial team.
