Blaulicht Forum Makes Its Debut at security essen

In cooperation with Feuerwehr-Magazin and Rettungs-Magazin, the Blaulicht Forum will make its debut at security Eessen 2026. The new forum brings together emergency and civil protection organisations (BOS), the security industry and public authorities, focusing on one central question: How are emerging threats and new technologies changing security and emergency response?

Experts from the fire service, police, civil protection, security industry and defence will take the stage to discuss current challenges: How can fire stations and other BOS facilities be better protected against fire, burglary and sabotage? What role will drones and autonomous systems play in future operations? How well prepared is Germany for CBRNE incidents and hybrid threats? And how can control centres, communication technologies and interconnected systems ensure a shared situational picture in an emergency?

Cooperation between civilian and military actors will also be a key focus: What can the fire service and the Bundeswehr learn from each other – and who takes the lead when different organisations have to work together in a major incident?

Experience the premiere of the Blaulicht Forum on Tuesday, 22 September 2026, from 11:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in Hall 5.
