2010 is set to build on this reputation still further, with several countries benefitting from dedicated pavilions to house leading manufacturers and suppliers from the respective countries.
Supported by the US Commercial Service, IFSEC 2010 will feature its first US Pavilion. Based in Hall 4, this pavilion will house a plethora of innovative manufacturers and allow visitors to source US security products and services in one concentrated location. Commercial staff from the US Embassy in London will also be on hand to answer any queries.
In addition to the US, there will be a raft of other pavilions for visitors to check out, including those representing Belgium (new for 2010), China, France, Italy, Korea and Taiwan.
Inaugural Spanish pavilion at the NEC
Furthermore, IFSEC 2010 will feature its first Spanish Pavilion. The Secartys Association – a voluntary organisation which represents more than 1,200 industries in electronics, information technology, telecommunications and solar energy across Spain – will be introducing new exhibitors from Spain in the different product areas within the exhibition.
James Blue, the director of the Fire and Security Portfolio at IFSEC organiser UBM Live, commented: “For many years we have successfully hosted international pavilions, including those from China, Korea and Taiwan, to support the worldwide expansion of leading security companies from the respective countries. IFSEC provides a great opportunity for these organisations to expand their overseas trade, and we’re confident that these international companies will benefit greatly from their presence at the forthcoming 2010 event.”
The pavilions will be located within the extensive exhibition at IFSEC 2010, which will be organised into the following categories: Integrated Security: IP and Network Solutions, Access Control, CCTV, Intruder Alarms, Counter-Terror and Physical Security, Security Solutions and Fire Solutions.
Axis Communications, Dallmeier, Genie CCTV, HIK Vision, IndigoVision, JVC, Norbain, Panasonic, Samsung, Sony and Tyco are among the 600-plus companies who’ll be exhibiting this year.
