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.
