Events

intersecDebut security show attracts 6,131 trade buyers seeking latest solutions from 170 exhibitors, 500 brands 

Jeddah, Saudi Arabia: The inaugural edition of Intersec Saudi Arabia concluded its debut run last week in high style, welcoming 6,131 Saudi trade buyers at the Jeddah Centre for Forums and Events. 

The visitor count was nearly double than what was anticipated by organisers Messe Frankfurt Middle East and Al-Harithy Company for Exhibitions (ACE Group), underlining the need for a business networking platform dedicated to the Kingdom’s security, safety and fire protection industries.  

Saudi visitors were treated to the latest technologies and product innovations by 170 exhibitors from 24 countries, while a three-day conference programme ensured hundreds of delegates and professionals were privy to the latest security upgrades and construction safety as part of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.

Intersec Saudi Arabia 2017 was buzzing with activity from the official inauguration by HH Saud Bin Abdullah Bin Jalawi Al Saud, Deputy Governor of Makkah Region for Security Affairs, right through to the closing bell at 7pm on 4th May at the Red Sea port city trading hub.

“We couldn’t have asked for a more successful debut show, and as a launch event, Intersec Saudi Arabia 2017 was a remarkable feat,” said Ahmed Pauwels, CEO of Messe Frankfurt Middle East.   

 

More than 500 brands were on display, presenting a comprehensive overview of the safety, security and fire protection industries covering commercial security, information security, perimeter and physical security, homeland security and policing, fire and rescue and safety and health.

The show’s launch partners include Hikvision, Dahua, Axis Communications, Nedap, Milestone, Bristol, CP Plus, dormakaba, Draeger, Genetec, Hanwha Techwin, Harco Group, HID, NAFFCO, Pelco by Schneider Electric, Promise Technology, Smiths Detection, BSIA, SAS Systems, Nitin Fire Protection Industries, Al-Alameya Group and ZMR Technology Distribution.

Intersec Saudi Arabia 2017 also paved the way for several new business alliances and deals made during its three-day run.  Dormakaba, a world leader in access control solutions, was happy with potential new business in the pipeline.  

With 73 per cent international participation, and three country pavilions, the dedicated showcase caters to growing demand for an integrated platform providing crucial access to one of the world’s most promising markets.  The 2nd edition will take place in May 2018.  More information is available at: www.intersec-ksa.com.
