Dubai, UAE: Messe Frankfurt Middle East, organisers of Intersec, the world's leading business event for safety, security, and fire protection, have officially launched the 2025 edition of the exhibition in response to the high demand from exhibitors and visitors following a record-breaking event in January this year.  

Returning to the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) in 2025, Intersec is set to be bigger and better than ever before. With exhibitor numbers in 2024 totalling 1,100, a 30% increase from the previous year, and visitors up by over 20% to 47,509 during the same period, the event is solidifying its position as the global hub for the security, safety, and fire protection industries. A range of new features and additional space will be introduced to further enhance the experience for visitors and exhibitors.

Taking place from 14-16 January 2025, under the theme of The world’s number one event mapping the future in safety, security and fire protection, the exhibition will again be held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and occupy 14 halls at DWTC, to facilitate the increase in exhibitors and provide the necessary space for buyers, sellers, and decision-makers to network, do business and showcase the cutting-edge technology and innovations supporting the industry.

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: “As Intersec heads into its 26th edition, the exhibition has firmly secured its position as the must-visit event for safety, security and fire prevention specialists, and as a result, the demand to exhibit and visit continues to increase every year – a demand we are only too happy to facilitate.

“This year, we will continue to focus on providing a platform to discuss the future trends within the industry while showcasing the game-changing technologies utilised here in the UAE and on the global stage, and in doing so, forming an integral part of our show theme for 2025.”

As part of the show offering, Intersec will encompass five broad product sections, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, Cyber Security, which will include the feature in{:cyber} showcasing cutting-edge solutions and fostering connections among global experts and innovators exclusively in the cybersecurity field, and the newly rebranded Public Safety & Security, which replaces Homeland Security & Policing, all offering tailored solutions for each industry segment under one roof.

Intersec will also underscore its commitment to a safer and more secure world through a series of high-impact conference programmes, including the Security Leaders' Summit (ISLS), the Cyber Security Conference, as well as the Safety & Health Conference.

This is further endorsed by Intersec’s long standing affiliation with key UAE government entities, including Dubai Police and the Security Industry Regulatory Authority (SIRA) with the security sector; Dubai Civil Defence with the Fire & Rescue element of Intersec; while Dubai Municipality supports the safety sector and the Cyber Security Council and Dubai Electronic Security Center (DESC) underscore the importance of the cyber industry.

The Intersec Awards will also return, celebrating the unparalleled innovation and commitment across various categories within the domains of fire, safety and security. This year represents the fourth instalment of the eagerly anticipated awards.

“At next year's event, our expert speakers will bring unparalleled insights from the industry. Their deep knowledge and practical experience are essential in shaping the future of security practices, offering attendees an invaluable opportunity to learn, innovate, and prepare across a range of sectors critical to safety," concluded Tuchten.
