ABOUT THE FAIR
Smart Tech Korea, established in 2012, is recognized as South Korea’s leading trade fair for technology and innovation. Held annually, it attracts both industry professionals and a tech-savvy public. Organized by Exporum Inc., a well-established trade fair organizer based in Seoul, the event offers forward-looking insights into cutting-edge technologies, digital trends, and advanced applications. The term “Smart” underscores the fair’s focus on intelligent technologies designed to make everyday life, industry, and entire cities more efficient, sustainable, and connected.
Each year, the centrally located COEX Convention and Exhibition Center in the heart of Seoul becomes a hub for international tech experts, innovation leaders, and visionary startups. With excellent transportation links and numerous nearby accommodations, the venue provides ideal conditions for networking, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas.
The fair showcases a broad spectrum of key technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Machine Learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), smart manufacturing, and applications for smart homes and smart cities. Additional focal points include pioneering fields such as 5G, telecommunications, digital networks, robotics, and automation. Visitors can also explore innovations in the Metaverse, Web 3.0, blockchain, NFTs, cybersecurity, and Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR). The event further highlights developments in electromobility, sustainable energy solutions, and electric drive technologies.
Smart Tech Korea serves as a vital link between global tech leaders and the rapidly growing Asian markets. It acts as a key driver for Industry 4.0 in the region. High-level conferences, interactive workshops, and exhibitions offer participants opportunities to discover innovative products, services, and technological solutions, while also connecting directly with international experts and decision-makers. Beyond its value to professionals seeking strategic networking and business development, the fair actively engages the general public in the societal dialogue surrounding digital future technologies.
