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.

SADEX – Saudi Drone & UAS Exhibition
Riyadh / Saudi Arabia
SADEX is the primary gateway for international UAS suppliers seeking access to the fast-growing Saudi and Gulf drone market, where government mega-projects (NEOM, Vision 2030 logistics corridors) are generating substantial procurement demand. The previous edition facilitated SAR 1.5 billion in signed business agreements, making it a high-conversion commercial event rather than a purely promotional one. For SMEs and startups, the structured B2B matchmaking and direct access to Saudi government buyers, regulators (GACA), and sovereign-fund-backed investors represent a rare entry point into a market with significant localization incentives.
