Security Essen 2024 will mark the 50th anniversary for the trade fair, which brings together the security industry and hosts around 500 exhibitors.

Security is more relevant than ever. Whether it’s cybersecurity, intrusion protection or access control – the demand for individual and tailor-made security solutions in industry, companies and private households is constantly increasing.

Security Essen showcases innovations and developments and is taking place from September 17 to 20. What began in 1974 with 105 exhibitors and about 1,000 visitors has long since developed into an international success story.

“Today, Security Essen is the comprehensive platform and indispensable meeting place for the security industry. Thanks to our continuous further development, it always remains at the cutting edge. This year, visitors can also look forward to a number of new features, “ reveals Project Manager Julia Jacob.

Trade visitors from all over the world can expect an extensive range of products and services in the exhibition halls. Around 500 exhibitors from over 30 nations will present their solutions in these subject areas:

• Access/Mechatronics/Mechanics/Systems
• Perimeter Protection
• Fire/Intrusion/Systems
• Digital Networking Security
• Services
• Civil Protection
• Special-Purpose Vehicles
• Video

Market leaders as well as hidden champions and niche players will be there. At the same time, Security Essen offers newly founded companies the opportunity to make contacts in the global market and to promote and market products made in Germany internationally.

At the “Young Innovators” joint stand, start-ups will show, among other things, how AI robots can take over surveillance tasks, which furniture makes prisons look secure and stylish at the same time and how users can protect their passwords.

A comprehensive supporting program enhances the trade fair

Security Essen offers special theme days and high-caliber professional lectures, providing added value for all trade visitors:

• The first European Drone Conference, for example, celebrates its premiere on September 19 and 20. It will shed light on innovative applications and safety aspects in the use of drone technology.
