https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

Showcasing the present and future of mobility innovation technology
The Seoul Mobility Show 2025 will be held at KINTEX in Goyang City from April 3 to 13. Under the theme of ‘Mobility, Everywhere,’ this exhibition showcases the present and future where mobility innovation is implemented in every moment and space of everyday life.
In addition to automobiles, this year’s Seoul Mobility Show will also cover marine (eco-friendly ships) and aviation (UAM), and it will showcase various related devices and new technologies that will be introduced to our lives in the near future – including public transportation services that will provide convenient mobility for everyone, purpose-based mobility (PBV), construction equipment mobility, and autonomous driving, AI, and robotics.

In particular, HD Hyundai affiliates representing the Korean construction machinery industry will participate as headline partners. This is the first time that construction machinery companies will be participating in the Seoul Mobility Show.

KINTEX to Start Construction of 3rd Exhibition Center in First Half of 2025

Growing as a global exhibition &convention center with an exhibition area of 178,000m2


 KINTEX (CEO Lee Jae-yul), the largest exhibition & convention center in Korea, will begin construction of its 3rd exhibition center in earnest in the first half of 2025. With this, the completion of the ‘Basic Plan for the Construction of Comprehensive Exhibition Centers in the Capital Area,’ a national project of the Republic of Korea launched in 1998 to build world-class exhibition centers, seems to be in sight.
KINTEX is currently being operated with its 1st and 2nd exhibition centers. The 1st exhibition center was opened in 2005 with an area of approximately 54,000m2 through the first phase of the project; and the 2nd, the second phase, opened in 2011, is currently being operated with a total exhibition area of approximately 108,000m2.
When the 3rd exhibition center with an area of 70,000m2 is completed, KINTEX will thus have a total exhibition area of 178,000m2. This is a level that ranks about 25th in the world in terms of exhibition area, and can host global events on par with world-class exhibitions such as CES (186,000m2) in Las Vegas, USA; ‘IFA (164,000m2)’ in Berlin, Germany; and ‘MWC (120,000m2)’ in Barcelona, Spain.
Meanwhile, in addition to building the 3rd exhibition center, KINTEX also began fully operating ‘Yashobhoomi,’ the largest exhibition & convention center in India, last year. Since then, it has been attracting and hosting global large-scale events one after another, establishing itself as a hub for global industrial exhibition & convention events representing India and Southwest Asia.
KINTEX’s CEO Lee Jae-yul remarked, “The 3rd exhibition center is to be built to maximize connectivity with the existing 1st and 2nd exhibition centers, and KINTEX will thus become the optimal place to host large-scale international exhibitions & events in the future,” adding “We plan to further strengthen our capabilities as a global exhibition convention center operator, like we have proved ourselves capable of in the operation of Yashobhoomi in India.”

KINTEX-Ambassador Hotel Group Sign Business Agreement for Operation of KINTEX’s Anchor Hotel

KINTEX and the Ambassador Hotel Group recently signed a business agreement (MOU) for the operation of the anchor hotel of the 3rd exhibition center, which is currently under construction.
KINTEX’s the 3rd center’s anchor hotel will be a 4-star tourist accommodation facility with approximately 310 guest rooms on 20 floors with a total floor area of 30,500m2. KINTEX and the Ambassador Hotel Group will operate KINTEX’s 3rd center’s anchor hotel under the Novotel brand of the French global hotel chain of Accor Group, and Ambassador Hotel Group plans to provide international-level accommodation services for the next 20 years.
KINTEX stated that the construction of the anchor hotel and the operation of the ambassador Hotel Group will further enhance the efficiency of exhibition events to be held at KINTEX. In particular, the anchor hotel is expected to play a role as KINTEX’s representative MICE support infrastructure by creating an environment where not only various business customers but also general tourists can stay for a long time.
In addition, Goyang City, where KINTEX is located, is also expecting positive effects on the revitalization of the local economy. Above all, it can be said that attracting a global hotel chain for the first time in Goyang City is a meaningful achievement.
A spokesperson for the Ambassador Hotel Group explained, “We are very pleased that this agreement will not only strengthen the brand value of the Ambassador Hotel Group but also contribute to the development of the local economy and tourism industry,” adding “As hotel experts, we will work closely with KINTEX based on our accumulated know-how and operational capabilities to play an important role in hotel operation, management, and customer service.”
KINTEX’s CEO Lee Jae-yul expressed his thoughts by saying, “We are very pleased to have signed an important agreement with the global hotel brand Novotel that will bear the fruits of the construction of the anchor hotel, a long-cherished project of KINTEX for 20 years,” adding “Through the combination with a global-level hotel, KINTEX will play an even more important role in the Korean MICE industry.”

Coex Expands its MICE Empire:
New Coex Magok Convention Center Leads Seoul’s Western Innovation Hub

A New Milestone in Seoul’s MICE Industry

Coex has established itself as Korea’s premier exhibition and convention center, serving as a cornerstone of the nation’s MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) industry. Hosting over thirty major exhibitions annually, Coex has become synonymous with success and innovation in the sector. Last year marked a significant milestone in the center’s history as it celebrated unprecedented achievements.
In a bold step forward, Coex introduced the Coex Magok Convention Center (hereafter referred to as Coex Magok), Seoul’s first exhibition and convention center in the city’s western region. This landmark opening took place on November 28, 2024, and signaled the beginning of a new era for MICE activities in western Seoul.
With an anticipated occupancy rate of sixty-five percent in its inaugural year, Coex Magok has been hailed as a transformative addition to the region’s exhibition industry. This development is particularly meaningful given that, since 2000, new exhibition venues in Korea have predominantly emerged outside Seoul.
The introduction of Coex Magok marks a significant shift, reinvigorating Seoul’s role as a hub for industrial innovation. This addition is set to strengthen Korea’s global reputation in the competitive MICE sector, creating new opportunities for growth and collaboration.

Where Vision Meets Versatility

Coex Magok has been meticulously designed to integrate exhibition and convention spaces, offering a seamless “ConfEx” experience that combines the best of both worlds. Spanning five floors and encompassing 7,452 square meters of exhibition space, the venue offers a variety of purpose-built facilities for a range of events.
The ground floor features a sprawling exhibition hall that connects directly to Magok Plaza, providing organizers with unparalleled flexibility for large-scale events. The basement houses the Square Ballroom, a versatile space linked to a vibrant underground commercial zone. This area is ideal for seminars, weddings, and catering events, offering visitors a convenient and accessible experience.
On the third floor, meeting rooms are designed to accommodate small-scale business gatherings and interviews. Some rooms boast outdoor views, adding an inspiring touch to meetings. The fourth floor is home to Le West Hall, the centerpiece of Coex Magok.
This expansive convention hall can host up to 2,200 attendees and is divisible into three independent sections, making it suitable for conferences, shareholder meetings, and academic symposia. The fifth floor complements these facilities with additional multi-purpose rooms, supporting mid-sized seminars and breakout sessions.
The vertical layout of Coex Magok is a modern marvel. It allows diverse and simultaneous events to be held within a compact footprint. Industries such as healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology, which have a significant presence in Magok, have found Coex Magok to be an ideal venue for their activities.

A Gateway to Seamless Connectivity

Coex Magok offers exceptional accessibility, enhancing its appeal as a premier event destination. The center is directly connected to Subway Line 9’s Magoknaru Station and the Airport Railroad, ensuring convenient access from Gimpo and Incheon International Airports. Major roadways such as Olympic Boulevard provide seamless travel options for participants from across Korea and abroad.
Magok itself has emerged as a thriving hub for advanced industries, surpassing even landmarks like Sangam DMC and Pangyo Techno Valley in scale. The complex is designed as a mixed-use facility, featuring a 400-room Mercure Hotel on its upper floors, a shopping mall below, and cultural attractions nearby, including LG Science Park and Seoul Botanic Park.
This integration of business, leisure, and culture creates a comprehensive experience for MICE participants, making Coex Magok a destination that meets a variety of needs.

Redefining Events with Innovation and Sustainability

Coex Magok has set new standards for efficiency and automation. By collaborating with August Robotics, Coex introduced Korea’s first floor-marking robots, streamlining event setup and enhancing operational precision. This innovative approach reflects Coex’s commitment to digital transformation and operational excellence.
Looking to the future, Coex is determined to lead the global MICE industry by fostering international collaborations and embracing ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles. With its dual locations in Seoul and international ventures in Vietnam, Indonesia, and Germany, Coex is poised to shape the future of exhibitions on a global scale.
Coex stand as shining examples of Korea’s visionary approach to the exhibition industry. These dynamic venues not only address current demands but also anticipate future trends, ensuring their place at the forefront of global innovation.

https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

Coex’s first overseas hosting of Asia’s representative smart factory & automation industry exhibition
 
 Automation World Vietnam 2024 (AW Vietnam 2024) will be held for three days from September 25 (Wednesday) at the WTC Binh Duong New City Expo in Vietnam.
Coex’s hosting of AW Vietnam 2024 is significant in that it is the first time that the representative smart factory and automation industry exhibition in Asia, which has been held at Coex in Seoul, will be held overseas ― in line with Vietnam’s active manufacturing digitalization as a global production base.

Coex signed an MOU with the Korea Smart Manufacturing Office(KOSMO) under the Ministry of SMEs and Startups on May 22 to host the ‘1st Vietnam Smart Factory Expo (AW Vietnam 2024)’ and is recruiting participating companies.
AW Vietnam 2024 is expected to provide 400 booths for 150 companies. Autonics and Daekhon Corporation have confirmed their participation. Various business programs such as 1:1 business matching and smart factory forums between the partners of large corporations that entered Vietnam, such as Samsung and LG, and the participating companies will be held.
In particular, Coex will launch the Smart-Factory-Korea Pavilion in cooperation with the Korea Smart Manufacturing Office(KOSMO) ― in order to help Korea’s small and medium-sized suppliers enter the Vietnamese smart factory construction market. Coex will push ahead with the introduction and demonstrations of the Vietnamese smart factory construction cases and solutions, export consultations, etc.
In AW Vietnam 2024, domestic companies in the smart factory, factory automation, machine vision, and logistics automation fields are expected to create a boom for digital transformation of Vietnamese manufacturing companies, and network actively with global industry experts.
At the same time, ‘Electric Energy Show 2024 (ELECS 2024)’ Vietnam’s representative power and energy industry exhibition, will be held, making AW Vietnam 2024 the Southeast Asian nation’s largest industrial exhibition for creating an industrial ecosystem.

Background of AW Vietnam 2024: Vietnam is rapidly emerging as the most powerful alternative to post-China
As of 2021, Vietnam’s smart factory and automation market is estimated to be worth US$120 billion and is expected to grow to US$260 billion by 2025. The market growth rate is 17.3%, and it is predicted to grow at an average annual growth rate of 13.5% from 2022 to 2025.
The Vietnamese logistics industry is also seeing an increase in demand for smart automation due to the acceleration of digital transformation.
As global production bases continue to move away from China, Vietnam is rapidly emerging as the most powerful alternative to post-China. Global companies are accelerating their entry into Vietnam. The government’s action plan to foster manufacturing was introduced in September 2020, with the goal of becoming one of the top three industrial countries among ASEAN countries, consequently leading to Coex’s hosting of AW Vietnam 2024.
This exhibition is expected to lay the foundation for Korean companies with smart manufacturing technology to enter Vietnam’s smart factory construction market, and become a venue for showcasing Korea’s manufacturing innovation promotion strategy and best practices.
Binh Duong Province has a population of 2.7 million, and is growing rapidly based on its manufacturing industry, which accounts for 7.8% of Vietnam’s total GDP. Binh Duong Province currently has 30 industrial complexes with 4,000 companies from 65 countries, of which 800 are Korean companies.
Every March, Coex holds ‘Smart Factory + Automation World,’ Asia’s representative smart factory and automation industry exhibition, in all of its halls. This year, it was held on the largest-scale ever with 2,000 booths from 450 companies, attracting 60,000 visitors and buyers. Coex plans to actively apply its experience in hosting this exhibition and its know-how in operating overseas exhibitions to hosting AW Vietnam 2024.

In 2024, JEC World showcased its position as the leading event for the global composites industry, with the renewed presence of participants from all the continents, last seen in the pre-Covid times.
The whole value chain gathered in Paris for this “festival of composites”: a source of inspiration for all professionals who wish to tackle sustainability challenges, and develop lighter, smarter and more durable composite solutions. Gathering as many global companies as SMEs under one roof, the event also presented a selection of start-ups resulting, in a lively environment for networking and business opportunities.
Powered by a dedicated business meetings platform developed and optimized for the composites industry, the JEC Business Meetings Program enabled over 8,000 face-to-face meetings during the three days – an increase of 13% over 2023, demonstrating the dynamism of the industry.

JEC World, where innovation meets industry
With more than 600 product launches during this year’s show, JEC World remains the best place to introduce new developments to the global market. The JEC Composites Innovation Awards recognized 11 collaborative achievements, reflecting the industry’s dedication to providing new solutions for all application sectors of composites.
For its 7th edition, the JEC Composites Startup Booster competition, now firmly established as the leading competition for startups in the advanced materials sector, awarded three companies from France, Denmark, and the USA, respectively, for their impressive market potential.

The new Live Demo zone was particularly visible on the show floor, and was well attended over the three days. This new feature, highlighting automated and robotized processes, including large-scale additive manufacturing technologies, together with more than 100 machines available at exhibitors’ booths, made the JEC World experience unique.
All in all, JEC World was an event not to be missed ― for participants to discover inspiration, celebrate the dynamism of the industry, and shape a sustainable future. With confidence, 54% of the exhibition space has already been booked for the next edition that will take place from March 4 to 6, 2025.
Exhibitors and attendees have provided very positive feedback about the quality of the exhibition, verifying the success, once again, of this pinnacle event of the industry.
