Intersec 2025

Organised by the Messe Frankfurt Middle East GmbH in Dubai, Intersec is the premier trade fair for safety and security, both online and offline. Founded in 1999, Intersec takes place over three days in January annually. This popular exhibition is in full swing 10:00 am in the morning until 18:00 pm in the afternoon, in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.

Its venue, the Dubai World Trade Centre, can be reached via Dubai’s extensive metro system and by bus, which makes reaching the exhibition grounds a breeze if you would rather avoid renting a car or hiring a taxi. This business-only fair is open only to trade show visitors and no one below the age of 18 is permitted to enter the exhibition halls.

• “We have been participating at Intersec since 2015. This has been the right forum for us to showcase our product range to our ever-growing customer base in the region and allows us to meet our partners and potential partners from all over the Middle East region in one venue.” –Mike Commarmond, Managing Director, BOON EDAM
• “We unveiled our 8x8 firetruck—the largest in the world—at the show and it was the perfect platform to do so due to the key visitors it brings from all over the world.” –Khalid al Khatib, CEO Eng., NAFFCO
• “Our participation was great this year as the platform gave us the chance to have direct contact with the concerned authorities in governmental and private sectors. Intersec enabled us to strengthen our role in the adoption of security products.” –Alia Hamad, Public Relations Specialist, SIRA
• “The 22nd edition of the exhibition comes in line with the vision of the wise leadership which government agencies contribute to be a key leader in all fields. Intersec 2020 was a great platform to promote our products and meet industry thought leaders in the sector.” –Major Abdullah Mohammed Al Balushi, Coordinator of Intersec 2020, Dubai Police

Safety and security has always been an important topic for governments and businesses and these trying times - what with wildfires, airplane crashes, riots, and the coronavirus pandemic - are no exception. These are exactly the kinds of security threats that Intersec’s exhibitors seek to deal with, mitigate, and prevent.

Belief in Intersec’s benefit to the industry has drawn sponsors such as Chinese tech giant Huawei, Japanese tech company Toshiba, and US storage company Seagate.

It is no surprise that the 2020 Intersec Show was booming at 1084 exhibitors from over 56 countries, who in turn were visited by over 33,800 visitors from 136 countries. If you are a trade agent, manufacturer, wholesaler, distributor, importer or exporter, a government authority, or just about anyone whose business requires security, this is the trade show for you!
