Cape Town gears up for the debut of four premier industry expos

Exhibitors invited to tap into Africa’s innovation capital from 21 to 23 October 2025

Securex South Africa, 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 2025 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC).

This inaugural Cape Town edition brings the proven Johannesburg format to the heart of one of Africa’s most dynamic innovation and technology hubs. It’s more than a location shift — it’s a strategic opportunity for exhibitors to engage with a fast-growing, tech-savvy regional market.

“Cape Town is a powerhouse of innovation, entrepreneurial energy, and forward-thinking investment,” says Mark Anderson, Portfolio Director at Specialised Exhibitions, a division of Montgomery Group. “With its robust tech corridor and growing demand for advanced safety and security solutions, the city offers an ideal platform for meaningful business engagement.”

Why exhibit in Cape Town?

Cape Town’s rise as Africa’s tech capital is well documented. The Cape Town–Stellenbosch corridor hosts over 450 tech companies employing more than 40,000 people — outpacing Nairobi and Lagos. Nearly 60% of South Africa’s startups are based here, including Yoco, Aerobotics, SweepSouth, Pineapple, and JUMO.

The city also boasts world-class infrastructure — including one of Africa’s largest open-access fibre networks, high internet penetration, and an abundance of co-working spaces and incubators.

Exhibitors benefit from:

• Access to a future-focused, tech-literate audience
• Exposure to local and global investors
• Alignment with public-private innovation strategies
• First-class venue and logistics support
• Four expos. One powerful platform.

The co-located expos have long served as key industry meeting points. The Cape Town edition expands this reach, offering Western Cape-based and national companies a prime platform to showcase their security, safety, facilities management, and fire safety solutions.

With local policies like LEAP (Law Enforcement Advancement Plan) boosting demand for safety technologies, and agencies like Wesgro driving innovation and investment, the October event is set to become a cornerstone of the regional business calendar.
