Working with the British Security Industry Association, the Fire Industry Association and the British Safety Industry Federation, UKTI DSO will be supporting over 110 UK exhibiting companies, to highlight the UK’s security and safety sector capabilities and to identify opportunities for joint ventures between the UAE and UK.

The UK delegation at Intersec hopes to talk to prospective partners and customers about UK best practice linked to combating crime and policing; counter terrorism; border security; emergency response including Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) defence; transport security; and commercial security and safety including CCTV .

Richard Freeman UKTI DSO’s Senior Police Adviser said:

Intersec 2016 is an important exhibition to showcase the UK’s world-leading security and safety equipment. UK companies are very keen to further develop business relationships with partners in the UAE and across the Gulf. This exhibition is important regionally and we are delighted to have the opportunity to engage with officials from the UAE and more widely to discuss how we can clarify requirements and enhance future cooperation in this sector”.
