The Bulgaria Security Summit is part of the successful Intersec brand family and introduces an additional strategic format in Southeastern Europe. The Intersec brand represents a global network of events for the security, safety and fire protection industries. Led by the flagship Intersec Global in Dubai, the network is already well established in the Adriatic region and Romania. With the new summit, this proven concept is now being specifically extended to the Bulgarian market. The event is held in strategic partnership with a&s Adria, a leading professional magazine for security solutions in Southeastern Europe, and NAFTSO (National Association of Firms Trading in Security and Safety Equipment), Bulgaria’s main industry association representing private security companies. The summit is tailored to the Bulgarian market as well as to a dynamically growing region and is expected to generate reach across key markets in Southeastern and Eastern Europe, including Poland, Hungary and Ukraine.
“Southeastern Europe offers strong growth potential for security technologies, particularly at the intersection with digitalisation and connected infrastructures,” says Johannes Möller, Group Show Director, Building Technologies Shows at Messe Frankfurt. “With this new format, we are creating a platform that actively fosters innovation, market access and collaboration across the region.”
The two-day conference and exhibition is aimed at key stakeholders in the security industry, including manufacturers, system providers, service providers and end users. It offers a dedicated platform for knowledge exchange, networking and business development at both regional and international level.
Key topics include smart cities and the increasing convergence of security technologies with ICT (information and communication technology), IoT and artificial intelligence. The programme is complemented by an exhibition showcasing innovative solutions tailored to local and regional market needs. More than 100 exhibitors from over 30 countries will present their products and solutions. In addition, more than 30 speakers from international and regional markets are expected at the inaugural edition, including senior executives and industry experts from across manufacturing, technology companies, system integration and associations, providing insights into technological developments and strategic trends shaping the security sector. A strong focus is placed on structured networking: a dedicated matchmaking platform will support targeted business connections before, during and after the event.
