The event aims to create significant opportunities for commercial collaboration and exchange of security and safety technologies between local and international firms.

The event will run until Saturday, September 20.
Organizers have stated that following the official inauguration, a Business-to-Business (B2B) session will be held. In this session, domestic manufacturers, suppliers, importers, software developers, and young entrepreneurs in banking, corporate, and cyber security sectors will have the opportunity to engage in discussions with representatives from top international technology companies. This interaction is expected to build smart connections between local security technology industries and international innovations. It will also open up new business opportunities for young entrepreneurs in the security and safety sectors of the country.

Alongside this progress, modernizing our security systems has become a necessity. The ‘‘International Security and Safety Expo’’ is a significant initiative that connects domestic security and safety needs with international innovations and solutions. Leading local and international technology companies, policymakers, and experts will participate in this expo. They will showcase world-class security technologies, share their experiences, and explore collaboration opportunities. This event is not just an exhibition it is a timely initiative to provide future direction. We hope this event will open a new chapter in Bangladesh’s security and safety sector.”
Madhu Sudan Saha, Managing Director of i-Station Limited, one of the organizing companies, said, “In this era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, technology is changing rapidly and so is the nature of security and safety technology. As a result, the risk to people’s assets and information is also increasing. Given the pace of technological change and rising security threats globally, the protection of personal, institutional, and national resources is now more important than ever. With Bangladesh’s rapid industrialization and urban development, we need an integrated security framework. I believe the ‘‘International Security and Safety Expo’’ will create a platform to apply global technology in our local context. It will also help domestic producers, suppliers, importers, and entrepreneurs in the electronics, software, and cybersecurity sectors prepare to face future challenges along with relevant government authorities.”
