Securex South Africa, along with the co-located A-OSH EXPO, Facilities Management Expo, and Firexpo — four of the country’s leading industry trade shows — will make their Western Cape debut from 21 to 23 October at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC).
“This inaugural Cape Town edition brings the highly successful format of the Johannesburg shows to the heart of Africa’s most dynamic innovation and technology ecosystem. It’s more than just a change of scenery — it’s a strategic move that offers exhibitors direct access to one of the continent’s fastest-growing and most tech-savvy markets,” Securex organisers said.
Securex has been held annually at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Johannesburg, with the latest edition taking place from 3 to 5 June.
“Cape Town is a powerhouse of innovation, entrepreneurial energy, and future-focused investment,” said Mark Anderson, Portfolio Director from show organisers Specialised Exhibitions, a division of Montgomery Group. “With a robust tech corridor, growing demand for advanced safety and security solutions, and a thriving business environment, the city offers an ideal platform for companies wanting to showcase their offerings to a highly engaged regional audience.”
“Cape Town’s rise as Africa’s technology innovation capital is undeniable. The Cape Town–Stellenbosch corridor is home to over 450 tech companies employing over 40 000 people — more than Nairobi and Lagos combined,” the organisers pointed out. Nearly 60% of South Africa’s startups are based in the city, with standout names like Yoco, Aerobotics, SweepSouth, Pineapple, and JUMO reinforcing the region’s global appeal.
Cape Town’s comprehensive digital infrastructure, an abundance of co-working spaces and accelerators means exhibitors have access to a forward-thinking, tech-enabled audience across key sectors, and opportunities to connect with global investors, corporates, and startup talent.
“Securex South Africa, A-OSH EXPO, Facilities Management Expo, and Firexpo have long been a cornerstone of industry engagement. The Cape Town edition builds on this legacy, creating a new gateway for Western Cape-based businesses — and those expanding into the region — to showcase security, safety, facilities management, and fire safety solutions to a high-quality local market,” organisers said.
With safety-focused policies like the Law Enforcement Advancement Plan (LEAP) driving demand for innovative technologies, and economic development agencies like Wesgro and the Western Cape government actively supporting investment and innovation, the October shows are poised to become a landmark event in the Cape Town business calendar, Specialised Exhibitions believes.
“Exhibiting in Cape Town means positioning your brand at the intersection of technology, safety, and sustainable growth,” Anderson concluded. “We’re inviting forward-looking companies to take advantage of this fresh, future-focused opportunity to connect and grow.
