Secutech, a leading event in the Asian security industry, is set to take place from April 22-24, 2026, at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 1. The upcoming edition is expected to feature over 400 international exhibitors and attract more than 15,000 visitors. This year, a significant focus will be on intelligent security solutions, driven by Taiwan’s government investment of USD 3 billion to spearhead its transformation into a hub for AI innovation.
At the heart of Secutech 2026 are advancements in AI and security technologies, enhancing the integration of AIoT and data-driven solutions aimed at improving safety, management, and sustainability.
Demand for Next-Generation Solutions
Taiwan's investment in AI has accelerated the demand for advanced security solutions. Ms. Regina Tsai, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd – Taiwan Branch, remarked that Taiwan's commitment to AI and smart security technologies is pivotal in fostering this demand.
She noted, "Secutech provides a preview of Taiwan’s security future by bringing together global pioneers from the security, fire safety, disaster prevention, occupational safety, building technology, and cybersecurity sectors.”
Four Key Industry Pillars
This year's exhibition will highlight four main pillars focusing on deploying smart security technologies across various sectors:
- Critical Infrastructure Protection: Emphasizing AIoT, image recognition, sensing, and cybersecurity to bolster resilience in sectors such as energy, healthcare, transportation, and manufacturing.
- Smart Fire Safety & Emergency Response: Featuring AI visual detection, thermal sensing, and smart fire control systems to establish city-wide safety networks for better disaster and rescue management.
- Smart Industrial Safety & ESG Protection: Demonstrating AI wearables, gas detectors, and cloud-based safety management tools to help industries meet their environmental, social, and governance goals.
- Sustainable Smart Building & ESG Applications: Innovations in energy efficiency, health, and safety through BIM, AIoT energy control, and indoor air quality monitoring seek to enable net-zero transitions.
Convergence of IT and OT Systems
The convergence of IT and OT systems will be a critical theme, with a focus on Cybersecurity & AI integration
Seven thematic zones will display these solutions, including pavilions dedicated to Critical Infrastructure Security, AI Innovation, and Smart Surveillance, offering visitors the opportunity to engage with the latest security technologies.
The convergence of IT and OT systems will be a critical theme, with a focus on Cybersecurity & AI integration, emphasizing AI threat detection and aligning with standards such as ISA/IEC 62443.
Key Industry Players and System Integrators
Ms. Tsai emphasized the importance of Secutech as a comprehensive platform for industry stakeholders to discover innovative solutions, gather insights, and establish international collaborations. The exhibition is designed to elevate industry standards and drive Taiwan towards a more secure and intelligent future.
Concurrently with the exhibition, the Asia Disaster Prevention Summit will be held, providing a platform for experts to discuss earthquake resilience, cross-border cooperation, and new disaster management techniques in the Asia-Pacific region. Secutech is organized by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd – Taiwan Branch and will occur alongside the Fire & Safety and SMAbuilding events.
The upcoming edition of Secutech is part of a global network of trade fairs focusing on Safety, Security & Fire, showcasing the latest advancements and trends in the sector.

Secutech, Asia’s premier security exhibition, will be held from 22 – 24 April 2026 at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 1. This edition promises a robust showcase of more than 400 international exhibitors and an expected influx of over 15,000 visitors.
Against the backdrop of Taiwan’s government investing USD 3 billion to accelerate its transformation into an “AI island”, this year’s focus will center on four key industry pillars across seven thematic zones prioritizing intelligent security solutions that integrate AIoT and data-driven technologies to enable proactive safety, precise management, and sustainable operations.
Demand for next-generation solutions
With AI playing a key role in Taiwan’s new development plan, Ms Regina Tsai, General Manager, Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd – Taiwan Branch stated: "Taiwan’s significant investment in AI and smart security technologies is fueling demand for next-generation solutions."
"Consequently, Secutech provides a preview of Taiwan’s security future by bringing together global pioneers from the security, fire safety, disaster prevention, occupational safety, building technology, and cybersecurity sectors.”
Four key industry pillars
This year’s show highlights four key industry pillars, each centered around the implementation of smart security technologies across key verticals:
- Critical Infrastructure Protection: featuring AIoT, image recognition, sensing, and cybersecurity to enable comprehensive “predict–detect–respond–recover” capabilities, strengthening resilience across vital sectors such as energy, transportation, healthcare, and manufacturing.
- Smart Fire Safety & Emergency Response: Showcasing AI visual detection, thermal sensing, wireless monitoring, and smart fire control systems to build intelligent city-wide safety networks for improved disaster and rescue management.
- Smart Industrial Safety & ESG Protection: Centered on smart tech, digitalization, and sustainability, with demonstrations of AI wearables, gas detectors, and cloud safety management platforms that assist industries in achieving zero accident, zero downtime, and zero carbon targets.
- Sustainable Smart Building & ESG Applications: Focusing on energy efficiency, low carbon footprint, health, and safety through innovations like BIM/FM/GIS systems, AIoT energy control, and indoor air quality monitoring, supporting the construction industry’s transition to net-zero and smart living environments.
Convergence of IT and OT systems
The solutions and products pertaining to these pillars will be organized thematically into seven zones and pavilions – Critical Infrastructure Security, Smart Surveillance, AI Innovation, Smart Living & Building, Smart Industrial Safety, Fire & Disaster Rescue, and the AIoT Cybersecurity Pavilion – each designed to provide visitors with a hands-on look at cutting-edge, cross-sector security innovations from around the world.
Secutech 2026 will also spotlight Cybersecurity & AI integration, addressing the convergence of IT and OT systems and emphasizing AI threat detection, Zero Trust Architecture, and supply chain security. These will align with international standards such as ISA/IEC 62443 to meet evolving local and global security demands.
Key industry players and system integrators
Ms Tsai commented: “For key industry players and system integrators in Taiwan, this event serves as a vital one-stop platform to discover cutting-edge products, gain fresh industry insights, and foster international partnerships. By creating unparalleled opportunities to enhance visibility and maximize return on investment across the entire value chain, Secutech continues to propel the industry towards a safer, smarter future for Taiwan and beyond.”
To complement the exhibition, the Asia Disaster Prevention Summit will be held concurrently. This summit assembles experts to share insights on earthquake case studies, cross-border collaboration, and innovative approaches to strengthening disaster resilience in Taiwan and the wider Asia-Pacific region. The fair also takes place alongside the concurrent Fire & Safety and SMAbuilding events.
Secutech is organized by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd – Taiwan Branch and is part of a global network of Safety, Security & Fire trade fairs. The next edition will be held from 22 to 24 April 2026.
