Ilya Sobolev, Head of Sales – Security Division, ITE Group Plc states: “Russia’s entry to the World Trade Organisation, as well as commitments to numerous high-profile sporting events (Sochi Olympics 2014 and FIFA World Cup 2018) means that the country is becoming a key investment territory for many international security and fire safety companies. MIPS is the leading industry exhibition in Russia, CIS and Eastern Europe, attracting an increased number of exhibitors each year. Participation in the event has proven to be the most effective way of entering the Russian security and fire safety market, and a key platform to expose innovative products to high-quality visitors.”

Additionally, exhibitor roundtables and workshops will be held during the four days of the exhibition, enabling participants to explain and demonstrate their products to a specialised and targeted audience. These individual events provide additional exposure for exhibitors and encourage interaction with visitors.

To accommodate the growth of the event, MIPS 2013 will take place at a newly-constructed pavilion 75 at VVC - “All-Russian Exhibition Centre”. This modern exhibition centre is located 10 minutes’ walk from VDNKh metro station.
