A new occupational safety and health trade fair will debut in Dubai from 12–14 October 2026. The event, OS+H Middle East, expands Messe Düsseldorf’s international portfolio in workplace safety and security.
The company is known for organising A+A, the leading global trade fair for the sector, held every two years in Düsseldorf, Germany.
OS+H Middle East will take place at the Dubai World Trade Centre, providing a platform for business, industry experts and government institutions.
The event will focus on smart personal protective equipment, digital and AI-based safety solutions, exoskeletons, ergonomics, sustainable workplaces and human-centred technologies.
“With OS+H Middle East we are expanding our portfolio in a strategically important region with great growth potential. It is gaining increasing importance as a hub between Asia, Africa and Europe. For our customers this creates direct access to a market that heavily invests in occupational safety, occupational health and future technologies,” said Marius Berlemann, Chief Operating Officer at Messe Düsseldorf.
Messe Düsseldorf said occupational safety is an international issue and that its A+A network offers companies routes into new markets. A+A in Düsseldorf remains the central event in the series, supported by regional formats that bring together experts, companies and decision-makers in high-growth regions.
“In the MENA region, demand for safety and security solutions is growing rapidly – especially in such industries as construction, oil, gas, renewable energies, health care and transport. Our events foster international exchange, strengthen confidence in innovative technologies and open up new market opportunities for companies in a dynamically growing environment,” said Daniel Feische, Director of A+A and the international portfolio.
