Upcoming Trade Shows Essen, Germany for Defense

Essen doesn’t possess a massive defense industry, but the city still exerts influence over the sector through its hosting of Security Essen, the world's largest trade fair for the security industry. The upcoming 2024 edition will return with a renewed focus on civil protection and special vehicles. The fair will feature a range of new initiatives designed to address the evolving security landscape and provide a platform for networking and collaboration among industry professionals. Julia Jacob, Head of Event Management at Messe Essen has been pleased with early response so far as early reservations point confirm the return of top-tier exhibitors like Hekatron, Dom, Burgwächter, Funkwerk and Atral Security. The new thematic focus reflects the growing need for effective civil protection measures in the face of emerging threats. The exhibition will feature a dedicated area for civil protection and special vehicles, showcasing the latest innovations in these areas. Sabrina Großkreuz, Senior Vice President Marketing at Messe Essen promises to create a wide-spanning platform for exchange, cooperation and networking among all involved parties whether it’s manufacturers and security companies or researchers and government agencies. Additional weight is given to the supporting program for Security Essen 2024. Attendees can look forward to more items, more opportunities to network and more opportunities to pursue career development. What we know so far is the inclusion of the Digital Networking Security Conference (a high-level event dedicated to the exchange of knowledge and best practices on networked security), the German-Dutch Forum (a platform for bilateral exchange between experts from both countries), and the Training and Education Day. The event will focus on promoting young talent and recruiting skilled workers. The final treat is the announcement of the Banks and Savings Banks Day. It’s a day for financial institutions to learn about the latest developments in physical security.
