Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: The seventh edition of Intersec Saudi Arabia 2025 achieved unprecedented success, attracting 434 exhibitors from 40 countries and 23,894 attendees at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Centre (RICEC) from September 29 to October 1, 2025. The event recorded a 12.5% year-on-year increase in trade buyers, emphasizing its growing importance as the Kingdom’s premier platform for security, safety, and fire protection industries.
Held under the patronage of His Royal Highness Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Naif bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Minister of Interior, and in association with the General Directorate of Civil Defense, the event was inaugurated by Prince Dr Abdulaziz Bin Mohammed Bin Ayyaf Al Muqrin, Private Advisor to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and Vice Minister of Interior.
Expanded Footprint and Industry Advancements
Spanning 30,000 sqm across seven exhibition halls, the event presented the latest solutions across five core sectors — Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Cybersecurity, Fire & Rescue, and Safety & Health.
Riham Sedik, Exhibition Director at Messe Frankfurt Middle East, noted:
“With Saudi Arabia’s giga-projects driving transformation, Intersec Saudi Arabia 2025 proved instrumental in connecting innovators and decision-makers to enhance national resilience and safety.”
Highlights from the Conference Programme
The event’s robust conference agenda featured two flagship summits: the Future Security Summit and the Fire Protection & Technology Summit. The Future Security Summit, powered by ASIS International – Dhahran Chapter, gathered thought leaders and policymakers from organizations such as Saudi Civil Defense, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Aramco, FIFA, and Abu Dhabi Police to discuss topics like cross-border security, AI applications, and mega event protection.
Meanwhile, the Fire Protection & Technology Summit, in partnership with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), addressed the evolving fire safety landscape and featured CPD-certified sessions, allowing delegates to gain professional development credits while learning from global experts.
Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, commented:
“Strong participation across both summits reflects Saudi Arabia’s growing leadership in shaping global fire protection and security practices.”
Looking Ahead to 2026
Building on its 2025 success, Intersec Saudi Arabia will return from 6–8 October 2026 at RICEC, continuing its mission to support innovation, international cooperation, and professional excellence in the region’s safety and security sectors.
