Adria Security Summit 2022 Chalks Up New Attendance Records As It Closes Its Doors

Adria Security Summit 2022, the largest conference and exhibition dedicated to security and converging industries in SE Europe, closed its doors on October 6 following a two-day event that took place in the Croatian capital of Zagreb.

The organizers have reported report that this event has been the largest and the most successful one so far, continuing the upward trend that the Summit experienced since its inception.

With 2500 visitors from more than 30 countries and 136 sponsors and exhibitors, the event has not only signaled the full recovery of a whole range of industries following the pandemic but rather its potential to cover new grounds as it breaks new records. For the sake of comparison, let us recall that the last year’s event in Belgrade has seen more than 70 exhibitors and 1500 participants.

Next, a total of 48 presentations and side events, all helmed by eminent experts, touched upon every hot issue across the industries, including security, smart cities, home automation, mobility, cyber security, ICT, and IoT.

Case studies also figured prominently during the event, with top-ranking presenters being handed over awards for the most innovative projects. This time, the honors went to the 1st ranked company Securitas Croatia for its achievement in managing the projects involving perimeter protection along the Croatian borders.

The second award went to Konica Minolta for its case study of the way in which modern-day video technologies can easily extend their application and usefulness beyond security implementations, while Hikvision secured the third place for its case study of the implementation of converged technologies in the Amadria Park resort in the Croatian town of Šibenik.

To round things off, the Summit also premiered the official presentation of the trailblazing startups across industries. They were presented with appropriate awards for their achievements in this business segment which was dominated by Robotiq (1st award), Zuluhood (2nd award), and Glog (3rd award).

The organizers expressed satisfaction with the event and its attendance and thanked all participants for their part in the organization of the event on the largest scale so far. A comprehensive report on the event as yet another success story for the Adria Security Summit brand will be published in the next issue of Adria Security Magazine.

Adria Security Summit will continue its journey in 2023 – stay tuned for more news.

Security industry gathered once more in Essen

Security Essen has long been one of the central events in the calendar of security professionals. Therefore, after a four-year break caused by the pandemic, as well as the organizer’s decision to continue holding the fair in even years, there was a great interest by our editorial team to see the latest technological innovations and meet famous faces again.

However, interest waned somewhat when we saw that only three and a half halls were open and full, compared to the former twelve. With 1,040 exhibitors and more than 40,000 visitors from 119 countries in 2018, the fair dropped to 383 exhibitors and 17,000 visitors. This is a 63.1 percent decrease in the number of exhibitors, and a 57.5 percent decrease in the number of visitors. Big players such as Bosch, MOBOTIX, Axis, Milestone, ZKTeco etc. were absent, further impoverishing the once impressive event.

Focus on higher ranking visitors

The organizers, on the other hand, interpreted the situation differently. The CEO of the fair, Oliver P. Kuhrt, said that “the exhibitor presentations were top-class and led to intense discussions”, shifting the focus to the quality of the exhibited technologies, and that “with Security Essen, they offer the industry a strong strong platform in a strong market”, meaning the German market, where turnover in this economic sector increased by 7.5 percent to more than 24 billion euros last year. Also, the decrease in the number of people who came to learn about the latest available products and solutions was interpreted as a reflection of the trend of attracting more high-ranking visitors, because, according to the organizers, 77 percent were decision makers who invest or arrange investments in their companies. Such, they say, were “very satisfied with their visit to the trade fair – particularly with the wide range of products and services covering all areas of civil security, as well as the presence of many market leaders and industry giants”.

Telenot was one of them. “We have seen a clear trend towards better quality visitors. Whether they represented industry, corporate groups or retail chains, the security professionals who came to specifically Security Essen were all highly trained experts. There was great interest in both our professional access control technology and our new motion detector, which was presented during the fair and is already available on the market. The numerous specialist installers particularly asked about our even larger range in the area of intrusion and fire alarm technology. Security Essen 2022 has surprised us in a good way. We will definitely be back in 2024,” said Peter Wunderle, CEO of Telenot.

AI, digitisation and cloud solutions as main trends

It was clear that artificial intelligence (AI), digitisation and cloud solutions will significantly shape the future of civil security. Among other things, learning robot systems were on display, which carry out site surveillance tasks or provide information as visitor assistants. There was also strong interest in complete systems, where software, terminals, administration, analysis and maintenance services all come from a single source. As the progress in AI, Internet-of-Things technology and digitisation requires storage space for use and the amounts of data generated, cloud solutions were also in demand. Associated storage systems are also becoming increasingly important.

Start-ups had brought along plenty of new ideas for the security industry. At the joint stand sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Economics Affairs, they demonstrated intelligent robot systems designed as dogs, innovative solutions for recording working time and even storage containers for valuables hidden in inconspicuous furniture.

In the next, 183rd issue of the a&s Adria magazine, we will talk more about the technological innovations that we had the opportunity to see and hear at the stands of some of the world’s largest companies.

Save the date

The high level of satisfaction among trade visitors and exhibiting companies is reflected in the trade fair surveys. Nine out of ten visitors would recommend Security Essen to others. Nine out of ten companies expect good post-fair business due to the positive course of the fair. Almost all exhibitors stated that they had reached their most important target groups. Already now, 89 percent of the visitors and 88 percent of the exhibiting companies stated that they would be present again at Security Essen 2024.

The next Security Essen will take place from 17 to 20 September 2024 at Messe Essen. Interested exhibitors can find the registration documents online at www.security-essen.de.

Dedicated Startup Stage at the Adria Security Summit

Adria Security Summit, the largest regional security conference and exhibition, will host a program dedicated to the promotion of startups for the first time at the upcoming event in Zagreb on October 5 and 6.

Increased risk is the biggest obstacle to the healthy development of new business ideas. New businesses must prove themselves in the market and raise capital before they can start making a profit. Continuous development is crucial for startups to attract investors and meet their goals.

Thus, Adria Security Summit is the perfect place for them to establish the right contacts whose assistance and cooperation they can utilize to boost their business performance.

This time, young and innovative companies will have the opportunity to demonstrate what they are capable of on a dedicated stage where all attention will be focused on them in front of the expected 2,500 visitors and the representatives of renowned regional and international companies from the entire distribution chain.

The program dedicated to startups will last for two hours in the largest hall for side events. Each company will have ten minutes to present itself to interested decision makers, while a five-member jury will choose the most promising business idea. The best presentations will be awarded cash prizes.

If you have launched a business in security, protection, smart homes, IT, and similar areas, the organizer invites you to register for participation at the Summit, present your solution or product to the target audience and improve your business.

More information is available via e-mails at amar.pap@asadria.com or summit@asadria.com.

Security Essen wins back Telenot and dormakaba as exhibitors

Security Essen is strengthening its position as an important on-site event and business platform for the security industry. After Honeywell, Telenot and dormakaba are now also returning to the international security trade fair.
