Protex Arabia will take place from the 28th February to 1st March, at the Jeddah Hilton Convention Centre, a new location for 2012.

Investment opportunities and the need for the latest technologies and products are very real. Saudi Arabia is now the second biggest homeland security market in the world, and Protex Arabia could be the place to present products needed by the market to the people who matter in this sector for the region. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been subject to massive growth, especially in the construction industry, the energy markets and the manufacturing sectors. As a result there is huge potential for suppliers of fire, safety and protection equipment, technology and services, in a market that is currently estimated to have a value of over £685 million.

There is a huge demand for information and opportunities in the region for this fast growing sector, the Protex Arabia committee has devised a three-pronged expert forum that will add significant value to the visitor experience. There will be three special days each with its own focus to address the key subjects that are crucial to business in the Kingdom. The subjects will consist of seminars covering the titles of - Security and Homeland Security, Fire and Safety in the Workplace and Emergency/Disaster Planning.
