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.
