Intersec 2023: A Truly Global Event in Dubai

The 24th edition of Intersec will take place 17-19 January 2023 at Dubai World Trade Centre. Bringing together key players in Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, Intersec creates a unique platform for buyers, sellers and decision makers to meet, network and do business. The exhibition brings the latest technology and innovations across the entire value chain from around the world to Dubai. 

The five pillars of Intersec are Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security. One of the key reasons that Intersec remains a market leading event year after year is that every element is affiliated with the relevant government entities in the UAE, which, along with the Patronage of HH Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, demonstrates the importance of these industries. Dubai Police and the Security Industry Regulatory Authority (SIRA) are affiliated with the security sector; Dubai Civil Defence with the Fire & Rescue element of Intersec; while Dubai Municipality supports the safety sector and the Cyber Security Council and Dubai Electronic Security Center (DESC) underscore the importance of the cyber sector.
