01 February 2019
A new record in visitor numbers has underlined what has been the most successful edition yet of Intersec, a premier trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection in Dubai, UAE.
The 21st edition of Intersec, which concluded its three-day run on January 22 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre, attracted 35,8089 visitors from 126 countries, a 23 per cent year-on-year increase over the previous year (29,000 in 2018).
With 1,212 exhibitors from 54 countries, six show sections, 15 country pavilions, live outdoor demonstrations, a drone zone, and the new Future Security Summit, Intersec was at its very best, where new business partnerships shared the stage with innovative product launches.
Organised by Messe Frankfurt Middle East, Intersec 2019 took up a sprawling 60,000 sq m at its Dubai venue, with Fire and Rescue forming the largest section, comprising 431 exhibitors, stated the organiser.
Commercial Security was the next largest with 375 exhibitors, followed by Safety & Health (142 exhibitors), Information Security (120 exhibitors), Homeland Security & Policing (90 exhibitors), and Physical & Perimeter Security (54 exhibitors).
Intersec is supported by the Dubai Police, Dubai Police Academy, Dubai Civil Defence, the Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA), and the Dubai Municipality.
A further 35 international government partners, trade associations, and non-profit institutions also participated this year.
