Intersec Event Catalyzes Industry Investments Worth Over $16.7 Billion

Messe Frankfurt Middle East has announced a significant achievement for Intersec, the world's premier event for safety, security, and fire protection held in Dubai. The 25th edition of this event has generated a potential buying power exceeding US$16.7 billion within the industry. This figure highlights the event's vital role in facilitating major deals and partnerships that are set to shape the future of safety and security sectors.

At the event, a notable collaboration was established between Moro Hub, a Digital DEWA subsidiary, and the Judicial Inspection Authority (JIA). They agreed to create a Judicial Performance Management system and an advanced website for the authority. Additionally, Moro Hub entered into a strategic agreement with the Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA) to enhance smart city security through increased coordination and cooperation. Another key partnership was between Digital Mobility Services (DMS) - Econocom and Streamax, aiming to develop smart transportation systems in Saudi Arabia with the aid of advanced AI technologies to boost public transport efficiency.

The 25th Intersec event, supported by His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, is not only about business deals but also plays a crucial role in promoting networking, showcasing technological innovations, and providing a stage for industry breakthroughs. "This monumental achievement underscores the importance of Intersec as a pivotal platform for fostering business partnerships and driving the industry's growth," stated Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Messe Frankfurt Middle East.

Looking ahead, the 26th edition of Intersec is scheduled to take place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 14-16 January 2025, under the theme "The world's number one event mapping the future in safety, security, and fire protection." It is expected to draw even more attendees, with projections indicating a 15% increase in exhibitors to 1,200 and a 10% rise in visitor numbers to 52,000 from over 140 countries. The inclusion of 12 country pavilions, such as the UK, France, and Singapore, emphasizes Intersec's global appeal.

The upcoming event will introduce the CISO Business Briefing, a new, exclusive forum for Chief Information Security Officers to engage in critical discussions about cybersecurity challenges, regulatory compliance, and best practices. "Under Chatham House rules, participants will explore cutting-edge technologies, threat intelligence...engaging in high-level dialogues with industry experts and thought leaders," Tuchten elaborated on the importance of this addition to Intersec.

Intersec's commitment to fostering a safer and more secure world is further evidenced by its comprehensive conference programs, including the Security Leaders' Summit, the Fire & Rescue Conference, and the Safety & Health Conference. The event also features the Fire Fighter Challenge, the Safety Walk, and the Intersec Awards, which celebrate outstanding achievements in the industry. Additionally, the Premium Buyer's Club offers an essential networking program for professionals.

With five broad product sections covering Commercial & Perimeter Security, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, Cyber Security, and Homeland Security & Policing, Intersec provides tailored solutions across various sectors, promoting innovation and connectivity. As Business Market Insights predicts the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) homeland security market to reach US$15,601.75 million by 2028, Intersec stands as a pivotal event driving the industry forward, with digitalisation and increasing airport and passenger traffic as key growth factors. This impressive potential buying capacity underscores the event's significance in shaping the industry's future, illustrating its ongoing contribution to the growth and innovation in safety, security, and fire protection.
