SICUR 2026 is getting ready for its 25th edition, claiming its position as the global benchmark in the security industry.

Organized by IFEMA MADRID, the International Security Trade Far’s 25^th edition, will take place from 24 to 27 February, becoming the most relevant meeting point for the industry in southern Europe.

SICUR will bring together over 670 companies from 25 countries, showcasing the latest innovations in public and private security, firefighting and emergency response, occupational safety, and cybersecurity, along with a full technical programme addressing today’s global security challenges.

Moreover, SICUR aims to strengthen its role as a strategic knowledge platform focused on generating business opportunities, fostering cooperation, and driving technological transformation across the industry. This includes both physical and digital security, as well as the development of solutions to protect people, assets, and critical infrastructure

Comprehensive security: a strategic sector on the rise

Taken from social and economic perspective, the security sector has become a strategic industry for Spanish economy, due to its business size as for its impact in jobs creation, and its relevance in protecting people, goods and critical infrastructures. In this regard only in occupational safety, according to the latest ASEPAL data, the personal protective equipment (PPE) market reached €610 million protecting about 8.4 million professionals, driven by stricter regulations and a growing preventive culture. When it comes to private security, according to APROSER, the industry generated an estimated revenue of about 5,340 million euros in 2024, growing to 6,2% compared to previous year. This trend clearly reflects the growing demand for advanced surveillance solutions. In the field of fire protection, according to Tecnifuego, the sector managed to achieve 2, 995 million euros in 2023, which represents about a 10% increase within a context where wildfires have increased dramatically.

Innovation and technology, structured around three main pillars

Occupational Safety, which represents 42% of the fair’s offer, will showcase solutions aimed at worker well‑being, the latest PPE innovations, occupational health proposals, and risk‑prevention technologies. New lines of protective footwear, eyewear and gloves, sustainable and recyclable materials, and ergonomic designs will take center stage in Halls 4 and 6.

Within this area, SICUR will also host the second edition of EXO CORNER, organized with the Instituto de Biomecánica (IBV), featuring an exhibition space and conference programme focused on how exoskeletons are reshaping workplace risk prevention.

The second major area, located in Hall 10, covers the Security segment, accounting for 34% of the fair. It brings together companies and experts in physical and electronic security, private security services, and advanced technologies designed to protect people and assets. Exhibitors will present their latest AI‑driven developments, including innovations in surveillance cameras, intrusion detection, access control, smart safes, drones, biometric solutions, armored doors, and remote‑controlled locking systems.

Fire Safety and Emergency Management, representing 24% of SICUR, will be in Hall 8, featuring national and regional police forces, emergency units, and civil protection services, alongside companies presenting the latest advances in detection and extinguishing systems, wildfire protection, rescue stabilization, specialized equipment, and vehicles.

During SICUR 2026, the National Police, Guardia Civil, Military Emergency Unit, Mossos d’Esquadra, Ertzaintza, Madrid 112 Emergency Agency, Municipal Police, SAMUR‑Civil Protection, and Madrid Fire Brigade will demonstrate their capabilities, equipment, and advanced operational procedures.

Within the exhibition offering, SICUR Innovation will present 16 selected products that highlight the industry’s current R&D priorities: 5 in Fire Safety and Emergencies, 6 in Security, and 5 in Occupational Safety.

A technical programme aligned with the industry’s needs and challenges

SICUR 2026 will feature a high‑level professional agenda addressing the sector’s main regulatory, technological, and operational challenges. FORO SICUR will be a key space for discussion, bringing together experts and institutions such as CDTI, CEUSS, FES and APDE to explore topics including civil security in Europe, workplace risk prevention, the role of women in the industry, and sustainability in fire and emergency management.

A major addition this year is the Public Security Technologies Conference, organized with the Defence and Security Technologies Circle, offering an in‑depth look at advanced tools and their regulatory and ethical framework in Europe. SICUR will also host the Horizon Europe Cluster 3 Brokerage Event, organized with Fundación Madri + D and European partners, aimed at fostering cooperation and enabling bilateral meetings between companies, research centers, universities and public bodies.

The programme will also include SICUR CYBER, focused on cybersecurity and organized with Seguritecnia and Red de Seguridad, featuring experts from INCIBE, CNPIC, CDTI, DSN, CCN, OCC and key industry associations. Additional activities include ASEPAL’s Speaker’s Corner on occupational risk prevention and the launch of SICUR Academia, a space dedicated to training, career opportunities and attracting young talent into the security sector.
