Last year

and services from 990 exhibitors
spread out over 39,000 sqm across
ten halls of the Dubai Interna-
tional Convention and Exhibi-
tion Centre. The event attracted
21,549 trade visitors, buyers and
industry professionals from as
many as 116 countries, making it
the most international trade event
of its kind in the world.

Sections
The Fire & Rescue section, the
fastest growing segment, covers
products and services within fire
the region's safety, security, fire
protection and policing trade and
networking exhibition, is expect-
ing the 2014 edition to be the
biggest yet.
Rapid development
According to Ahmed Pauwels,
CEO of Epoc Messe Frankfurt,
the continued success of Intersec is
being driven by the rapid develop-
ment of the safety and security
industry regionally. "Across the
Middle East authorities are
improving security infrastructure,
enhancing policing and crime
fighting capability and concentrat-
ing on maintaining a peaceful
environment. Furthermore, with
the renewed vigour in the con-
struction sector and an increase in
projects at finishing stage, demand
within the private sector also
continues to rise. This all makes
the region a high-priority market
for international manufacturers
and suppliers."
Safety, fire protection
and security remain high
on the priority lists of govern-
ments and corporate companies
worldwide given the current
uncertain scenario in many parts
of the world. The Middle East
region, replete with its crucial
reserves of oil and natural gas, and
boasting some of the fastest grow-
ing economies within its ranks, is
being viewed as a vitally important
part of the world by the global
safety, security and fire protection
industries.
This emphasis on greater secu-
rity is felt in many ways including
growing expenditure on security
infrastructure, equipment and
personnel by regional authorities
as well as an increasing awareness
in society about the importance
of maintaining a safe and secure
environment.
Given all this, it's not re-
ally surprising that Epoc Messe
Frankfurt, organiser of Intersec,
