A MESSAGE FROM OLIVER P. KUHRT FOR THE SECURITY ESSEN 2026 MAGAZINE
GRUSSWORT VON OLIVER P. KUHRT FÜR DAS MAGAZIN DER SECURITY ESSEN 2026
A WARM WELCOME TO SECURITY ESSEN
From September 22 to 25, Messe Essen will once again become the international hub for the security industry.
AROUND 500 EXHIBITORS FROM 40 COUNTRIES WILL PRESENT THEIR LATEST TECHNOLOGIES, PRODUCTS, AND CONCEPTS AT SECURITY ESSEN, THE LEADING TRADE FAIR FOR SECURITY.
They will demonstrate how artifi cial intelligence, digital
connectivity, and innovative systems are increasingly converging physical and digital security—from access control, video surveillance, and perimeter protection to cybersecurity, civil protection, and civil defence. Personal interaction is at least as important as
PERSONAL INTERACTION IS AT LEAST
AS IMPORTANT AS INNOVATION. THAT’S WHY SECURITY ESSEN OFFERS A DIVERSE PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM
innovation. That’s why Security Essen off ers a diverse professional programme: The “DNS – Digital Networking Security Conference” explores cybersecurity and digital resilience, the “European Drone Congress” focuses on a dynamic fi eld of technology, and events such as the “Day of Banks and Savings Banks”, the “KRITIS Spotlight” and the “Security Experts Forum” provide practical knowledge and inspiration. Look forward to four days of the trade show fi lled with new perspectives, concrete solutions, and personal encounters with experts, decision-makers, and international industry partners alike. A special fi rst-time event in 2026 will broaden the scope:
For the fi rst time, the Euro Defence Expo will take place concurrently. More than 350 exhibitors from 28 countries will present solutions for the defence industry there. This will create an extraordinary platform in Essen for exchange between civil security and defence. Take advantage of your visit to the trade show to explore
Essen. As a major economic and trade show hub in the heart of the Ruhr Metropolis, the city combines entrepreneurial dynamism with a high quality of life. The Zollverein UNESCO World Heritage Site, renowned museums, Lake Baldeney, and a diverse range of dining options off er the perfect way to round off a successful day at the trade show. I look forward to seeing you there and wish you exciting
