NETRONIC at IAAPA Expo Europe 2026: Laser Tag Innovations & Highlights

02 / 10 / 2026

From September 22–24, NETRONIC took part in IAAPA Expo Europe 2026 in London, bringing its latest laser tag solutions, AIRBUNKER inflatable bunkers, and updated digital products to ExCeL London.

Over three busy days, our team met with potential customers and partners from 30+ countries, including the UK, UAE, Switzerland, Spain, Germany, France, Italy, Poland, the Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, China, and many others.

These meetings at our booth gave us a better understanding of what entertainment business owners focus on when planning new entertainment projects or expanding existing facilities.

Outdoor and Mobile Laser Tag Remain in High Demand

As expected, outdoor and mobile laser tag proved to be the most popular attractions at the exhibition. This trend of high demand has been evident for several years, reflecting the rapid growth of this entertainment sector worldwide.

Operators also showed interest in equipment adaptable to various locations and business models. Consequently, mobile laser tag is gaining significant momentum, as it enables companies to host games at a wide range of venues and events.

At the same time, we have witnessed a significant rise in interest in the GALAXY indoor laser tag system among business owners planning to open new arenas or expand their existing entertainment businesses.

Through our discussions, we concluded that there is no one-size-fits-all business model for laser tag that suits every operator. Everything depends on the equipment configuration, the specifics of the venue, the target audience, the business format, and expansion plans.

AIRBUNKER: Expanding Outdoor Game Formats

Another part of our exhibition presentation was AIRBUNKER — a range of inflatable bunkers for laser tag, paintball, and other activities.

Inflatable structures allow operators to create different playing environments and modify outdoor fields according to their game formats and available space.

For businesses offering multiple activities, AIRBUNKER can also become part of a broader outdoor entertainment setup.

MAVERICK: A New Outdoor Laser Tag Experience

One of the most discussed products at the NETRONIC booth was MAVERICK, our new outdoor tagger designed for teenage and grown players.

Visitors paid particular attention to its ergonomic design, illuminated elements, sight, alternative reload options, tactical grip, and sling compatibility.

The feedback from visitors made MAVERICK one of the key highlights of the exhibition for our team.

Feedback from Operators

Product demonstrations were only one part of the conversations in London. We also received repeated feedback from both existing and potential customers about the design, build quality, and overall appearance of NETRONIC equipment.

Direct interaction with business owners provides us with valuable feedback, as it allows us to understand firsthand how our products are perceived in real-world commercial settings and what businesses expect from their equipment.
