Messe Frankfurt organizes a total of eleven trade fairs and events for the worldwide safety and security sector. Under the trade-fair brand names, Intersec and Secutech, it offers platforms for the sector in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Russia, South America and Germany. Wolfgang Marzin, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Messe Frankfurt: "More than almost any other company, Messe Frankfurt stands for successful trade-fair concepts in future-oriented sectors worldwide. The best example of this is our Safety + Security business unit, which we continuously expand and strengthen. Over the last two years alone, we have launched three new events for the safety and security sector – in Moscow, Nairobi and Frankfurt."
Successful first half year, 2016
The flagship of the portfolio of events is the annual Intersec in Dubai. Launched in 1999, this leading international trade fair holds a firmly established place in the calendar of events for the sector. Against the background of growing demand for security and safety products and systems generated by new infrastructure projects in the Middle East, Intersec 2016 (17 to 19 January) was a great success. 31,939 visitors (+ 17 percent) made their way to Dubai to view the range of products and services offered by the 1,290 exhibitors. 72 companies from Germany, more than ever before, presented their latest innovations at Intersec. They included Grundig, SimonsVoss, G-Data, Doeka, Viking, Haix, Siemens and Bosch. The signs are that the next Intersec, from 22 to 24 January 2017, will continue this process of growth and eight percent more exhibition space in twelve halls – one hall more than this year – is in planning whereby twice as much space is being planned for the particularly fast-growing 'smart home'segment.
