It will be possible to see a large number of product premieres and exhibitors will show innovative security technologies as well as the most modern security concepts. With its comprehensive range on offer, Security 2010 aims to be provider for the entire sector. The organisers are expecting over 40,000 visitors who will come to Essen from all parts of the world in order to obtain information about new solutions and pioneering developments.

Fire Protection Solutions Will Be Given More Space

At Security 2008, companies and institutions dealing with all aspects of fire protection presented themselves in a compact form in one hall for the first time. The new concept met with great approval. Therefore, an enlarged event section already had to be planned for the following event. On the occasion of Security 2010, the suppliers of preventive fire protection, early fire detection and fire fighting will, in Hall 1, occupy an enlarged area. Under the title "Fire Prevention", the fire protection experts will congregate there. The concept of the fire protection hall will be implemented together with the partner of Security, the bvfa (Federal Association for Technical Fire Protection).

Information about Everything to Do with IT Security
Nowadays, companies must also be safeguarded virtually more and more; IT security is one of the central questions of the people responsible for corporate security. The IT Theme Park in Hall 4 at Security will give answers. IT security will also be a central field of the forums where experts will, in lectures and demonstrations, provide information on the subjects of security organisation, video, alarm installations as well as IT security.

Essen Security Innovation Symposium
During Security Essen, the Essen Security Innovation Symposium will take place within the framework of the show. Leading European experts from the political, industrial, economic and scientific fields will comprehensively devote themselves to the challenges of civil security. The speakers will include Stefaan De Clerck, Belgian Minister of Justice, Dr. Luigi Rebuffi, CEO of the European Organisation for Security (EOS) industrial platform, and Prof. Wolf-Rüdiger Dombrowsky from Steinbeis-Hochschule Berlin.The Essen Security Innovation Symposium will make an important contribution to a better understanding of the steps necessary for the implementation of research results and their innovations. This will be highlighted by the fact that the Security Research Department of the Research Execution Agency (REA) of the European Commission will participate in the event.
"The event will centre on the search for European and international solutions to all-encompassing problems such as exist in a concrete form and are placing new responsibility not only on the state but also on industry and the economy," explains Prof. Dr. Alexander Siedschlag, Director of CEUSS (Center for European Security Studies at the Sigmund Freud Private University of Vienna) and organiser of the conference. "Assuming responsibility begins with that knowledge at the international level which this symposium would like to accumulate and pass on."
The event will offer a diverse platform for experts to bring up the relevant security aspects within the framework of international presentations. Siedschlag: "Not only here, security as public property will have to approach the question in what way the public and private sectors will best pursue their interdependent objectives in the future in order to be able to jointly protect the society and the infrastructure."
23 speakers from politics, the economy and science who will come from twelve different countries have promised to participate. On October 5, Stefaan De Clerck, Belgian Minister of Justice, will be expected for a speech about the programme of the Belgian presidency of the EU Council in the field of "Home Affairs" and will be followed by Dr. Luigi Rebuffi, CEO of the European Organisation for Security (EOS) industrial platform, who will discuss the consequences of the Lisbon Treaty for the European security industry.
