Safety tech designed for smart cities

Secutech Thailand will return from 5–7 November 2025 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC), showcasing a range of products and solutions designed for safe, connected and smart urban living. The expo – a major platform for security and fire safety technologies — is strongly aligned with Thailand’s smart city ambitions, according to government officials and industry leaders who spoke at a recent press conference promoting the event.

Representatives from the Bangkok Fire and Rescue Department, Digital Economy Promotion Agency (depa) and the Thai IoT Association, alongside brands such as HIP, Hitachi and TOA Electronics (Thailand), were keen to make the point that safety enables the functionality of smarter urban systems, reinforcing the fair’s role as a catalyst for innovation and improved quality of life.

Regina Tsai, General Manager of the event’s organiser, Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd – Taiwan Branch, explained: “Our vision is simple: you cannot build a truly smart city without first building a safe city. Secutech Thailand 2025 will showcase critical security and fire safety solutions that ensure future cities are both intelligent and protected.”

Thailand’s smart city sector receives strong support from the Thai Government as part of its Thailand 4.0 and Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) initiatives. Driven by this increased interest in smarter, safer cities, Secutech Thailand 2025 has attracted over 400 exhibitors from 10 countries and regions including Australia, China, India, Korea, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and the UAE, alongside an anticipated 14,000 visitors — with both figures more than double last year’s totals.

This year, Secutech will collaborate with N.C.C. Management and Development, which manages the 11,600 m² fairground and also organises the co-located Thailand Smart City Expo.

“Our new partnership with N.C.C. and the rapidly growing scale of the exhibition reflects the tremendous momentum and interest in safe smart city development across the region,” Tsai said. “This collaboration with the Thailand Smart City Expo amplifies opportunities for stakeholders to explore integrated solutions and accelerate the country’s smart urban transformation.”

In addition, the concurrent Fire & Safety Thailand and co-located EdTEX will enable further cross-sector collaboration, opening up new business possibilities and offering an opportunity to strengthen international cooperation in urban safety and innovation.

With the industry’s future in mind, Secutech Thailand 2025 has pinpointed five key solution categories essential for smarter cities:

• Surveillance & access control: featuring AI and panoramic cameras, advanced video management systems, biometric access, smart locks and visitor management platforms to enhance security and operational efficiency.
• Fire & safety systems: showcasing detectors, alarms, aspirating smoke detection, wireless panels and suppression systems designed to protect lives and assets.
• Disaster prevention & critical communication: including seismic warning and structural monitoring, gas detection, PA/evacuation systems and anti-drone solutions vital for urban resilience.
• Smart technologies & mobility: presenting 5G and IoT solutions, building automation, smart home systems, robotics, EV charging infrastructure and intelligent traffic management.
• Integrated safety & security systems: demonstrating the convergence of video analytics, cloud computing and big data for comprehensive urban management.
   

Security exhibitor highlights will include HIP Global’s AI CCTV cameras, which are capable of tracking driver behaviour and sleep detection, alongside the company’s smart biometric systems and fire-extinguishing drones. Also on show will be Innodep Inc’s intelligent video security management, which integrates AI-powered analytics, big data, cloud computing and IoT technologies.

Fire safety highlights include Dahua’s Wisualarm, a range of smart fire detection systems that integrate intelligent video analytics, enhancing early warning capabilities and improving response accuracy in fire safety management. Additionally, Sanlien Technology Corp will present its structural and vibration monitoring systems that help maintain infrastructure integrity and safety — critical for sustainable urban development.

Secutech Thailand 2025 will also offer a fringe program featuring forums on AI disruption in smart factories, AI security and data centres, cybersecurity for smart cities, drone applications for the future of security, digital urban futures with IoT and AI, and electric vehicle safety innovations.
