UBM India, organizers of IFSEC India, the signature expo on safety and surveillance, is bringing in the edition of ‘Security and Fire Expo (SAFE) South India to be held for the first time at Hyderabad. The event will be held at Hitex exhibition centre during June, 28-30, 2018.
The expo aims to bring together renowned Indian and international brands from video surveillance, access control entrance and home automation, and perimeter protection industry to interact, network, view the latest innovations, source business solutions and gather invaluable expert support, all under one roof. SAFE South India is supported by the Electronic Security Association of India (ESAI) and Asian Professional Security Association (APSA).
SAFE South India will be a launch pad for leading security companies to introduce products in an emerging market, whilst establishing relationships with key decision makers.
With a distinguished line up of key exhibitors and thought leaders on board, the expo will add immense value to the commitment shown by the Central Government to enhance its security budget by 35 per cent. This includes the creation of a dedicated homeland security department, developing coordinated intelligence gathering, protecting critical infrastructure and upgrading maritime security.

Security spending on hardware, software and services in India is expected to cross the $1.69-billion mark by 2019.
