Western Cape businesses – your must-visit event in October

Cape Town’s rise as Africa’s innovation capital has transformed the way businesses, institutions, and property owners think about their facilities. With one of the continent’s largest open-access fibre networks, a thriving tech ecosystem, and a highly skilled talent pool, the city offers fertile ground for adopting advanced facilities management solutions, security products and services, and safety offerings that enhance efficiency, safety, and sustainability. The four-shows Cape Town event, taking place from 21 to 23 October 2025 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC), is your opportunity to explore these solutions first-hand — all under one roof, in one hall.

A city built for smart, sustainable facilities

The Western Cape’s business and public spaces are increasingly aligning with global standards for environmental responsibility and operational excellence. From AI-driven building management systems to renewable energy integration, facilities across the region are evolving to meet expectations for comfort, connectivity, and sustainability.

At the four-shows Cape Town event, visitors will have access to an unmatched spectrum of products and services — from advanced surveillance and access control technologies, to occupational health and safety solutions covering the full workplace spectrum, to fire detection, suppression, and evacuation systems tailored for local risks. Alongside this, visitors can explore energy-saving technologies, water-use efficiency tools, and digital platforms that tie safety, security, and building management into one view.

“The event is designed to give building managers, estate operators, and Western Cape businesses practical, end-to-end solutions for protecting people, property, and productivity,” says Mark Anderson, Portfolio Director at Montgomery Group Africa.

Smart cities, smart construction

Cape Town’s rapid urban development, paired with the Western Cape government’s focus on building safer communities, has placed smart city initiatives firmly in the spotlight. For the construction and property sector, this means new expectations for integrated solutions: access control that links to timekeeping, surveillance tied into fire response, and facility dashboards that give a holistic picture of safety and efficiency. At the expo, decision-makers will see how suppliers are supporting this evolution, with systems that reduce risks, cut costs, and ensure compliance with South Africa’s building and safety regulations.

Cross-sector relevance

What makes the Cape Town edition particularly powerful is its reach across sectors:

• Agriculture: Wildfires burned more than 32 000 hectares between November 2024 and February 2025. Firexpo will showcase suppression systems and protective equipment that help vineyards, farms, and agri-processing plants mitigate these risks.
• Maritime and logistics: With Cape Town’s port ranked among the most congested globally, integrated risk management is essential. Securex South Africa brings technologies like cargo tracking, cyber-secure port systems, and perimeter protection to safeguard supply chains.
• Industrial and construction: With 1.5 to 2 worker fatalities recorded weekly in South Africa’s construction industry, A-OSH EXPO offers PPE, monitoring devices, and compliance tools to keep projects safe.
• Estates and residential: The province is home to over 2 200 estates, where security remains a top driver for buyers. Securex South Africa offers access control, perimeter protection, and surveillance tailored to estate living.
• Commercial property and hospitality: the expos highlight tools for smarter, leaner operations, from predictive maintenance to renewable integration, ensuring sustainability and cost savings.

Four shows, one powerful platform

“By co-locating these respected trade shows, we create a multi-sector showcase that reflects how security, safety, and fire prevention are interconnected with modern facilities. This co-location means you can explore cross-disciplinary solutions in a single visit — whether that’s integrating fire detection into your building automation system or ensuring your occupational safety measures complement your energy efficiency strategy,” says Anderson.

Why it matters

Events like this are not just about sourcing products. They’re about understanding how end-to-end solutions can strengthen your organisation’s resilience. Visitors can:

• Compare solutions side by side, saving time and resources.
