An official from Saudi Arabia witnessed the signing by Serge Gherabi (CEO SCC), Simon Foster (CEO UBM Live), and Will Martin of Alagat Montgomery of the official agreement which describes the future partnership and collaboration of efforts.
Taking place at the Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Center (RICEC) from 20-22 November, IFSEC Arabia will bring together international fire, safety and industrial security solution providers with the Government and commercial buyers in Saudi Arabia and the MENA region.
IFSEC Arabia will be held alongside and in partnership with the MOI’s 14th International Conference and Exhibition for Industrial Security organised by the Higher Commission for Industrial Security.
The co-located OSH Expo Arabia will provide professionals involved in occupational safety and health with a platform from which to source the latest products, services and innovations within the market, network with industry peers and take advantage of an extensive educational programme.
Strengthen security
IFSEC and OSH Arabia will “provide the experience to the Saudi Arabian industrial security sector which will strengthen the security of the critical infrastructure protection of Saudi Arabia,” organisers said.
“We’re delighted to have gained the official endorsement by the Ministry of Interior Kingdom of Saudi Arabia” said Simon Foster, CEO of UBM Live.
“The support of the Ministry of Interior secures us a strong position within the protection market of the Kingdom and ensures that we will produce an event that sits at the heart of these communities.”
UBM Live is the world’s leading organiser of security events. The IFSEC brand is replicated throughout the world with IFSEC in the UK, South Africa, West Africa and India. UBM has joined forces with Alagat Montgomery to organise IFSEC Arabia in Riyadh.
Saudi Arabia represents a highly profitable market as one of the top ten fastest growing countries in the world and the largest and most influential economy in the Middle East, accounting for 27% of the region’s GDP.
