The event will feature top-tier exhibitors presenting the latest in cutting-edge technologies and solutions at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center (RICEC) from 3-5 October, 2023.
Intersec Saudi Arabia, now in its 5th edition, has evolved into a powerhouse exhibition that unites the Kingdom's commitment to safety, emergency services, fire protection, policing, and cybersecurity. This year's event is poised to be the biggest yet, with an incredible 100% increase in exhibition space, spanning an impressive 16,000 gross square meters. The event is divided into four distinct halls, with two halls dedicated to the Fire, Health, and Safety sectors and two focusing on Commercial, Perimeter, Homeland, and Cybersecurity. A new addition awaits visitors this year – the outdoor exhibition area, which serves as a vibrant new area. This innovative space offers an immersive experience that extends the reach of the event beyond the confines of traditional exhibition halls. As attendees explore this open-air arena, they will encounter an array of cutting-edge solutions, enhancing the overall interactive experience.
Reflecting the immense growth and recognition Intersec Saudi Arabia has garnered over the years, the 2023 event is witnessing a phenomenal 70% increase in exhibitor participation compared to the previous year, boasting a total of over 220 exhibitors. With representation from more than 25 countries, including France, Germany, and Egypt, the international flavour of the event is undeniable. Notable country pavilions, including the UK and China, will further enhance the global dimension of the exhibition.
Intersec Saudi Arabia 2023 is held in association with the Saudi Ministry of Interior and Civil Defense, the Kingdom's leading authorities in the safety and security sectors, underscoring the exhibition’s value and significance to the region. Fire Founding Partner NAFFCO, Fire Strategic Partner Saudi Sicli, alongside Platinum Sponsors ADMC Dahua Technology and HIKVISION, are solidifying their positions as industry leaders and pioneers in the advancement of security, fire safety and protection.
Alex Nicholl, show director, emphasised the growing potential of the Saudi market, stating, "Saudi Arabia is undeniably a booming market for the security, fire, rescue, and safety sectors. The recent surge in remarkable projects underscores the Kingdom's commitment to safeguarding its citizens and infrastructure. Initiatives such as the implementation of advanced fire prevention systems in iconic structures and the integration of state-of-the-art emergency response solutions in key metropolitan areas exemplify Saudi Arabia's determination to create a safer and more secure environment."
As the Kingdom propels forward with its ambitious Giga projects, the fire safety sector is primed for exceptional growth. Projections from 6W Research indicate a 5.5% CAGR by 2025, culminating in a cumulative value of USD 402 million. The global fire protection systems market is also on an upward trajectory, expected to reach a remarkable USD 84.6 billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of 6.4%. Intersec Saudi Arabia 2023 thus emerges as a strategic platform for industry players to capitalize on the expanding opportunities and forge valuable partnerships.

(SFFECO), LIFECO, Arif Al Nahdi, Al Kurdi, Weflo, and Viking plus many others.
