INFOPOL I XPO112 and Brandweervereniging Vlaanderen (BVV) join forces: new opportunities for suppliers of firefighting equipment
Since 1995, INFOPOL I XPO112 has been the leading trade fair for the equipment of police, security, and emergency services in the Benelux. The fair is now entering into a strategic partnership with Brandweervereniging Vlaanderen (BVV). This collaboration is a strong response to the growing demand for a stronger fire services offering at the fair. For suppliers of firefighting equipment, this is the perfect moment to step in.
For many years, INFOPOL I XPO112 has stood out thanks to the exceptional quality of its visitor profile. The fair attracts thousands of professionals with purchasing and decision-making authority across the entire security chain. Within the fire services, this includes zone commanders, procurement officers, officers, and technical advisors – the key target group for any supplier of specialized firefighting equipment.
Brandweervereniging Vlaanderen is an independent organization that serves as the voice of the Flemish fire services. With more than 12,000 members – spread across professional and volunteer corps – BVV is a well-established player in the sector. The association is committed to advocacy, knowledge sharing, training, and networking, and is a respected partner both in policy circles and in the field.
The cooperation between INFOPOL I XPO112 and BVV is therefore more than symbolic: it represents a substantive and strategic strengthening of the firefighting segment within INFOPOL I XPO112. Thanks to the active involvement of BVV, the reach towards the fire services community is significantly expanded and the presence of this target group at the fair is concretely reinforced – both quantitatively and qualitatively.
“The profiles that decide on the purchase of firefighting equipment are already there. With the reinforcement from BVV, we ensure that the entire underlying community also finds its way to the fair,” says Peter Vanbrackel, Exhibition Manager of INFOPOL I XPO112. “For suppliers, this is an excellent opportunity to directly connect with both end users and decision-makers within the fire services.”
INFOPOL I XPO112 will take place on 28, 29 & 30 April 2026 at Kortrijk Xpo (BE). More info: www.infopol-xpo112.be
