Why it matters

SeguridadExpo is the primary commercial gateway for security technology vendors seeking access to Chilean and broader Latin American government, law-enforcement, and critical-infrastructure buyers — including the armed forces, Carabineros, and municipal authorities. The co-organization with Carabineros de Chile and the presence of cabinet-level ministers give exhibitors direct access to procurement decision-makers in a single venue. For SMEs and startups, the minimum 9 m² turnkey booth format and a growing congress programme lower the barrier to market entry in a rapidly expanding regional security market.

About

SeguridadExpo is Chile's leading international converged-security trade show and congress, held annually at Metropolitan Santiago. The 2026 edition — the 10th — covers electronic security, cybersecurity, public safety, industrial security, critical infrastructure, and intelligence & analytics, structured around four strategic pillars: border security, correctional ecosystems, organized crime, and artificial intelligence. A parallel international congress brings together authorities, armed forces, police, and private-sector specialists to debate policy and emerging threats. For 2026 the organizer expanded floor space by approximately 35% over the previous edition to accommodate record exhibitor demand.

China (Xi'an) Advanced Manufacturing and Digital Industry Expo & Defense Science and Technology Industry Expo

Xi'an / China

Xi'an hosts China's densest concentration of state-owned defense primes and research institutes, making this expo one of the few accessible venues in western China where suppliers can engage directly with aerospace, ordnance, and defense-electronics procurement chains. For SMEs and dual-use technology firms, the military-civil integration forums and project roadshow sessions provide structured pathways into PLA and state-enterprise supply chains. The event's scale — targeting 50,000+ professional visitors and 1,500+ exhibitors — and its government guidance from provincial defense-industry authorities signal genuine procurement and partnership intent rather than a purely promotional showcase.
