Sectech 2025 breaks record
More visitors, more exhibitors, and
more seminar participants ­ all
quantitative boxes were ticked,
just as in 2023. But according to
Sectech's project manager Deniz
Baykal, from AR Media Interna-
tional, what truly stands out is the
positive response from exhibitors
and visitors alike.
"There have been so many
people, and all the customers and
exhibitors who have been here
have done a fantastic job with
their stands. We are very satisfied
with Sectech," she says.
Kettil Stenberg, CEO of
Heras, calls Sectech his favourite
security exhibition in Scandinavia.
"From the very beginning, we
have had a lot of customers and
industry colleagues at our stand.
Here, the stands are relatively
small, but everyone who is here
is an industry professional, both
those who are exhibiting and the
visitors. This is a fantastic fair",
he says.
Record number
of seminar visitors
A record number of participants
attended the seminar programme.
The previous high of 1,090 from
2023 was surpassed, with 1,157
registered this year.
"It is particularly interesting as
our programme is anything but
broad. It is mainly based on panel
discussions around niche technolo-
gy areas," says Lennart Alexandrie,
CEO of AR Media International
and responsible for the seminar
programme at Sectech.
The panel on ID manage-
ment and access control ­ the
opportunities and challenges of
digitalisation ­ attracted the largest
audience (148 participants), featur-
ing Daniel Hjort (Nexus Group),
Freddie Parrman (Seriline), Mårten
Gunnarsson (Pacom Group) and
Daniel Persson (Acre Security).
Other panels also drew large
audiences, such as the AI-powered
security systems session (128
participants), perimeter protection
(118 participants), and biometrics
for ID management and access
control (115 participants).
More exhibitors
The number of exhibitors also
reached a new record. In 2023
there were 115, while this year
124 companies took part.
"We could have accepted
even more exhibitors, but we are
sticking to our strategy of growing
slowly, ensuring the number of
exhibitors harmonises with the
number of trade visitors. That is
one of the core ideas behind the
event," states Lennart Alexandrie.
He highlights the fair's com-
pact format as its main strength.
"Sectech 2025 was bigger than
ever, but our goal is not to have as
many people as possible ­ it is to
have the right quality of visitors,
and that has certainly been the
case."
AI, cloud solutions, and cyber-
security were the key megatrends
on display. From a product per-
spective, lidar technology showed
strong progress, and mobile access
Sectech ­ the compact pan-Scandinavian security
event took place on the International Stockholm Fair
(Stockholm) ­ which was held on the 14­15 October
­ was a huge success, attracting 3,324 visitors and
746 representatives from 124 exhibiting companies.
Seminars featuring panel discussions on technology
trends in the security market attracted 1,157 partici-
pants ­ also a new record.
The need for knowledge about security
technology is substantial ­ not only
among suppliers but also among end users,
who were strongly represented among the
seminar participants."
