Industry and Information Tech-
nology of the People's Republic
arrived for the conference entitled
"Perspectives of German-Chinese
Technological Cooperation in
Disaster Risk Management".
A large number of other coun-
tries also dispatched delegations
that obtained information about
innovations at Security Essen
­ including Morocco, Norway,
the USA and the United Arab
Emirates.
100 Specialist Lectures and
Technology Live in Action
The supporting programme at
Security Essen also went down
outstandingly. Around 100
lectures in the two fair-accompa-
nying Security Forums presented
solutions to current challenges
in the sector. IT security was an
important keyword here as well.
Twice a day, visitors were able
to experience technical innova-
tions live in the Action Centre.
Here, civil flying robots for site
surveillance were demonstrated
and security films for windows or
glazed doors were tested with iron
ball bearings, Molotov cocktails
and explosion attempts.
Spectacular things happened
on the Fire Protection Day too:
Here, it was possible to experi-
ence, amongst other products,
fire suppression installations and
CAFS fire extinguishing appli-
ances live in use. As the premier
global fair, Security Essen also
supported the sector with regard
to the promotion of the up-and-
coming generation: On the Train-
ing and Further Education Day,
schoolchildren, lateral entrants
and students were able to obtain
information about training
courses and occupational perspec-
tives in the security industry.
Visitors will return
Visitors and exhibitors gave top
marks to the premier global fair.
They praised the range on offer at
the fair and the very high quality
of the visitors. It was noticeable
that one in three of the visitors
stayed at the fair for two days or
longer this year ­ a very good
value. With a view to 2016, 92
percent of the visitors and 86 per-
cent of the exhibitors indicated
that they would be involved in
the 22nd Security Essen from
September 27­30, 2016. n
the prospects are good: Almost
96 percent of the trade visitors
to Messe Essen are expecting the
favourable development of the
security market to continue. One
in three of the visitors indicated
that their companies want to
invest high six-figure amounts in
security technology next year ­
above all, in solutions for access
control, video surveillance and
fire protection. Therefore, the
majority of the exhibiting com-
panies rated their participation
in Security Essen as successful:
Furthermore, nearly 88 percent
are expecting good post-fair
business.
Solutions for IT Security
In 2014, the top subject of IT
security aroused great interest
amongst the trade visitors ­ of
which nearly 83 percent were
decision takers. According to
estimates made by experts,
industrial espionage and cyber
crime caused damage amounting
to US$ 400 billion worldwide
in the past year. In this context,
Security Essen offered effec-
tive protective measures: from
constructional bugging protec-
tion via secure IT hardware right
up to data protection for mobile
terminals. During a joint visit to
the fair, the State Secretary at the
Federal Chancellery Klaus-Dieter
Fritsche, Federal Government
Commissioner for the Federal In-
telligence Services, and Dr. Hans-
Georg Maaßen, President of the
domestic intelligence service of
the Federal Republic of Germany,
also obtained information about
the subject of the protection of
the economy.
Increased share of
international visitors
The significance of Security Essen
as the premier global fair was also
highlighted by the great inter-
national interest. 39 percent of
the trade visitors travelled from
abroad ­ a plus of nearly ten
percentage points. Moreover, the
Federal Ministry for Economic
Affairs and Energy used the
premier global fair in Essen as
the platform in order to continue
the bilateral dialogue with China
about collaboration in disaster
risk management. On the first
day of the fair, high-ranking
representatives of the Ministry of
security
