Official Patronage and Welcome Address
The Governor of Carinthia, Ing. Daniel Fellner, is the patron of the SicherheitsExpo Alpe Adria and, in his welcome address to the exhibition, highlights the relevance of the topics covered there: “We live in an age in which security requires new solutions. The protection of critical infrastructure, cyber security, modern operational and surveillance technologies, and innovative drone solutions are becoming increasingly important. This makes it all the more vital that politicians, the business community, emergency services and the research sector work together to develop solutions that provide people with a sense of security and make our society more resilient. The SicherheitsExpo Alpe Adria is far more than just a trade fair: it is a place for exchange, interaction and cross-border cooperation. It is precisely this spirit of cooperation that we need in order to tackle the challenges of our time with commitment and successfully develop visions for the future”.
