The Emergency Tech Show Birmingham

The Emergency Tech Show in Birmingham is recognized as the UK’s leading trade fair for technology and innovation in the emergency services sector. Held every September at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC), it is exclusively aimed at professionals from the police, fire services, ambulance services, and search and rescue units who are seeking efficient, safe, and future-ready solutions.

Organized by Broden Media Ltd. as part of the Emergency Services Show, the event focuses on the digital transformation of blue-light organizations. Its goal is to demonstrate how modern technologies can save lives, streamline operations, and strengthen organizations against internal and external crises.

The exhibition covers a broad range of topics: from communication systems such as TETRA, MCX, and satellite solutions for reliable mission-critical communication, to AI-driven data analysis and predictive analytics, through to unmanned systems such as drones that support rescue operations or deliver vital supplies to hard-to-reach locations. It also features smart equipment, electric emergency vehicles, digital training methods using AR and VR, and cybersecurity solutions for the increasingly digitalized emergency infrastructure.

The show distinguishes itself through exclusive product launches, interactive live demonstrations, and a diverse program of keynotes, seminars, and panel discussions. Visitors experience innovation first-hand — whether through the simulation of a large-scale power outage or the real-time deployment of a drone for water rescue.

The NEC Birmingham, one of the country’s most modern and accessible venues, provides the ideal setting. Its infrastructure is specifically designed for trade fairs of this scale, offering excellent conditions for showcasing technological excellence and fostering professional exchange.

The Emergency Tech Show is therefore an essential platform for anyone looking to actively shape the future of emergency services. It combines practical solutions with a level of depth and specialization unique in the UK, targeting those who bear responsibility on the front line when emergencies strike.

The The Emergency Tech Show in Birmingham took place from Wednesday, 17. September to Thursday, 18. September 2025.
