The five key elements of Intersec are Fire and Rescue, Commercial and Perimeter Security, Homeland Security, Safety and Health, and Cyber Security
Fire industry professionals from around the world are expected in Dubai in January to explore the strategies and advanced technologies that will future-proof global safety. More than 1,000 exhibitors from 120+ countries will unite at the 24th edition of Intersec, the world’s leading trade fair for safety, security and fire protection. The show will take place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 17 to 19 January 2023, with exhibitors providing access to more than 10,000 products across the complete security value chain.
Advanced technological innovation will dominate the exhibition’s five key segments, followed by Commercial & Perimeter Security, the second largest sector represented. Homeland security is supported by Dubai Police and Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA) and is dedicated to products and solutions for Homeland Security, Law Enforcement, Airport and Aviation Security.
Fire & Rescue will showcase the latest firefighting technologies, the best international standards, and practices, and is supported by the Dubai Civil Defence. Safety and Health will be divided into environmental, industrial, and public health and safety, and lastly, Cyber Security will host cyber solutions, experts, from national leaders to public and private sector professionals, from cyber connoisseurs to advisors, hackers to responders, and cyber economists to corporate buyers.
‘We anticipate up to 30,000 security, emergency response, safety and cybersecurity professionals attending Intersec 2023, where technological breakthroughs will take centre stage and attract an influential participant profile,’ said Alex Nicholl, Show Director, Messe Frankfurt Middle East. ‘Industry experts, influencers, decision and policymakers, and distributors are uniting to explore the strategies and technologies that will govern the safety and wellbeing of future generations.’
The event takes place against a backdrop of anticipated sector growth. Research firm 6W Research forecast the Middle East’s commercial security market will grow 16% a year until 2025 to reach US$8.4 billion, while the region’s fire and safety sector will advance 7.5% annually to reach US$16.76bn by 2026.
‘This huge potential has attracted a line-up of leading industry heavyweights, including Honeywell, Bosh, Hochiki, Drager and AXIS Communications,’ added Nicholl.
The conference think tank
The Intersec 2023 Conference will be a think tank for future industry strategies, with four focused segments. The conference streams will feature the Intersec Security Leaders’ Summit, and dedicated seminar streams focusing on safety and health, fire and rescue, and tackling ever-growing sophisticated cyber security threats.
Intersec Fire & Rescue Seminars
The global fire protection systems market is expected to grow to USD 84.6 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 6.4%. Due to the rising number of construction projects in the MENA region and rising preference for technologically advanced tools and equipment, the demand for fire prevention and safety implementation systems is forecast to continue its upward trajectory. With the launch of Giga projects, KSA in particular will register a 5.5% CAGR by 2025, reaching a cumulative value of US$402 million.
Against this backdrop, the Intersec Fire & Rescue Seminars will gather the most prominent fire and emergency service leaders from across the region to talk about the key challenges, opportunities, standards and policies, and technology. These CPD-certified seminars will help you learn, network and collaborate with industry peers.
