The 13th Smart Tech Korea, Korea’s largest business tech show, will be held at COEX in Samseong-dong, Seoul from June 19 to 21.
The event, which will be held under the theme of “Connect the Future,” will use the entire A, B, and C halls on the first floor of COEX as the heat gets hotter than last year, with a total of 400 companies and 1,500 booths.
Along with the Smart Tech Show Artificial Intelligence & Big Data Show Digital Distribution and Logistics Daejeon Robo Tech Show Secure Tech Show, an exhibition specializing in materials, parts, and equipment in Korea, ‘Global Supply Chain Innovation Competition (GSC Korea)’ will be added to hold a detailed exhibition that specializes in each industry.
At last year’s event, foreign officials and researchers from foreign national research institutes, who are working on foreign ICT policy courses at Seoul National University, visited the site, serving as a gateway to inform the future technology of Korean tech companies abroad.
The performance of export consultations with overseas buyers was also at an all-time high. An official from the X Forum, which prepared the event with Maekyung Media Group, said, “In the case of last year’s exhibition, 30 overseas buyers participated in the exhibition, and the consultation amount reached 700 million dollars, making remarkable achievements in the future B2B business human exchanges.”
On the 20th, the day after the opening, the “Korea Artificial Intelligence Industry Awards,” the most prestigious award, will be held to evaluate the innovation performance of domestic AI companies.
On the same day, a large number of chief technology officers (CTOs) of leading companies will participate as speakers to introduce the latest technology trends and future visions. Smart Tech Korea, also known as a “conference restaurant,” is recognized as a valuable communication space that conveys excellent insights to developers through TechCon every year.
This year, leading global and domestic artificial intelligence and robot companies such as Intel Korea, Google Cloud, NHN Cloud, Unity, Autostore, and Plotik will participate as speakers.
Smart Tech Korea selects foreign technology leaders as guest countries every year and exchanges technology with Korean companies, serving as a bridge between innovative energy. Last year, Finland was selected as the guest of honor, and a large number of Finnish innovative companies visited Korea. This year, Israel was selected as the guest of honour, and Israeli cybersecurity companies will form a national view to interact with Korean companies through various programmes.
There will be The Highlight Special Hall, which spotlights digital health companies, as well as Smart Daily Life Special Hall, a showcase for cutting-edge future technologies and products.
