  • Secutech 2026 showcases AIoT innovations, AI convergence, smart security across seven thematic zones.
  • Event forecasts 15,000 visitors, highlighting AI's role in Taiwan's security transformation.
  • Key focus: critical infrastructure protection, smart fire safety, industrial safety, sustainable buildings.

Secutech 2026, Asia's prominent security exhibition, is scheduled to take place from 22 to 24 April 2026 at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Centre, Hall 1. The event is set to feature more than 400 international exhibitors and expects to attract over 15,000 visitors. The exhibition will highlight Taiwan's significant investment of USD 3 billion to become an "AI island," focusing on dynamic security solutions that integrate AIoT and data-driven technologies.

This year's emphasis will be on four major industry pillars across seven thematic zones to promote proactive safety, precise management, and sustainable operations.

Increased demand for advanced solutions

AI is a pivotal component of Taiwan's development strategy, with Ms Regina Tsai, General Manager at Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd – Taiwan Branch, noting: "Taiwan's significant investment in AI and smart security technologies is fuelling demand for next-generation solutions."

She further commented on Secutech's role in providing a glimpse into Taiwan's security future by gathering global leaders from the security, fire safety, disaster prevention, occupational safety, building technology, and cybersecurity sectors.

Focus on four industry pillars

The exhibition will showcase four primary industry pillars, with each focusing on the integration of smart security technologies in significant sectors:

  • Critical Infrastructure Protection: This area will present solutions that feature AIoT, image recognition, sensing, and cybersecurity to enhance "predict–detect–respond–recover" capabilities, vital for energy, transportation, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors.
  • Smart Fire Safety & Emergency Response: The section will display AI visual detection, thermal sensing, wireless monitoring, and smart fire control systems for intelligent safety networks in cities, aiding in disaster and rescue efforts.
  • Smart Industrial Safety & ESG Protection: Demonstrations in this area will revolve around smart technology, digitalisation, and sustainability, including AI wearables, gas detectors, and cloud safety management platforms aimed at achieving zero accident, downtime, and carbon emissions.
  • Sustainable Smart Building & ESG Applications: Focusing on energy efficiency and a low carbon footprint, this pillar will highlight innovations such as BIM/FM/GIS systems, AIoT energy control, and indoor air quality monitoring to support eco-friendly construction.

Convergence of IT and OT systems

Thematic zones, including Critical Infrastructure Security, Smart Surveillance, and the AIoT Cybersecurity Pavilion

Thematic zones, including Critical Infrastructure Security, Smart Surveillance, and the AIoT Cybersecurity Pavilion, will offer visitors a chance to explore pioneering security solutions from around the world.

Emphasis will be placed on the integration of Cybersecurity & AI, addressing IT and OT systems convergence, with a focus on AI threat detection, Zero Trust Architecture, and supply chain security, aligned with international standards like ISA/IEC 62443.

Insight for industry stakeholders

Ms Tsai highlighted the significance of Secutech for industry pioneers and system integrators in Taiwan as a comprehensive platform for discovering new products, gaining industry insights, and establishing global partnerships. The event is designed to enhance industry visibility and investment returns, paving the way for a safer and more intelligent future in Taiwan and beyond.

In conjunction with the exhibition, the Asia Disaster Prevention Summit will take place, gathering experts to discuss earthquake case studies and innovative disaster resilience approaches in Taiwan and the Asia-Pacific. Secutech will run parallel to the Fire & Safety and SMAbuilding events, seamlessly blending disaster management with security innovation.

Organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd – Taiwan Branch, Secutech is part of a global network of trade fairs focusing on safety, security, and fire protection, with the next event scheduled for 22 to 24 April 2026.
