Dubai Civil Defence has collaborated with Intersec 2024 to propel fire and rescue innovations in the UAE 

As Intersec, the leading international exhibition for fire, security, emergency services, safety, policing, and cybersecurity, gears up for its 25th-anniversary edition, the focus will be on remarkable innovation and collaborations within the fire and safety sector

Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Intersec 2024 will convene from 16 – 18 January at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). This historic edition, themed ‘Innovating security tech for a quarter century’, is poised to be the largest in its history, with a significant emphasis on fire and rescue innovations, in collaboration with Dubai Civil Defence.

According to 6Wresearch, the UAE fire safety systems and equipment market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.0% during 2020 - 2026. Increased investment in the industrial sector, aiming to diversify the economy, along with ongoing social infrastructure projects like UAE Vision 2021, Maritime Vision 2030, and Dubai's Industrial Strategy 2030, will boost the demand for fire safety systems and equipment in the UAE in the coming years.

The fire and rescue segment, boasting over 400 exhibitors across five DWTC halls, stands out as the event's fastest-growing section. Notably, 70% of the industry's global leaders will converge here, presenting a prime opportunity for Middle East business engagements.
