“Borders 2020” is the only event in Poland devoted to border protection as well as border services. Polish Border Guard has taken honorary patronage over it. However, the fair is aimed at other uniformed services too. These are among others: Territorial Defence Force (WOT), Police, Custom Service as well as sanitation services that work at the borders. The exhibitors are producers of classical equipment and technologies that serve border protection as well as security in general. There are also present IT companies that deliver software for systems at border crossings, airports as well as critical infrastructure. The fair is parallel with a substantive conference that covers issues related to border services, security and the matter of borders in Europe. During the conference, the companies that partake in the fair have an opportunity to present their products to the representatives of the uniformed services. Issues raised during Borders 2020:
