Korea Electronics Show (KES) Seoul, South Korea

【Exhibition Overview】

    The Korea Electronics Show, known in English as Korea Electronics Show and abbreviated as KES, is currently the largest and most representative consumer electronics exhibition in South Korea. The exhibition has obtained international UFI certification and enjoys high visibility in the Asia-Pacific region. It is also one of the member exhibitions of the Asian Electronics Exhibition Alliance (AEECC).

    With the development of global electronic technology, the Korean electronics industry has gradually transformed from initially producing simple vacuum tube radios to advanced electronic products such as mobile phones, IPTV, and semiconductors. The technological advancement has been remarkable, and global demand for Korean electronic products continues to rise. Currently, South Korea ranks fourth globally in electronics production. KES has witnessed the entire development journey of the Korean electronics industry and serves as an important platform for the industry to enter the international market.

【Exhibition Scale and Highlights】

    The previous edition of KES featured a total exhibition area of 30,000 square metres, attracting 508 exhibitors from countries and regions around the world, with professional visitor attendance reaching 60,000. Participating companies came from China, Hong Kong, China, Japan, Singapore, Dubai, the United States, Germany, Russia, and many other countries and regions.

    At the previous exhibition, Samsung Electronics specially set up a Smart Factory zone, providing product display opportunities for numerous start-up companies. Although these companies were small in scale, they brought a wealth of innovative technologies and ideas, also helping emerging enterprises gain more opportunities for industry collaboration.

    The electronics industries of China and South Korea are highly complementary, offering vast scope for both merchandise trade and technological cooperation. KES has long served as an important bridge for collaboration between Chinese and Korean electronics companies, helping Chinese electronics and home appliance enterprises connect with outstanding Korean firms and expand into the Korean and overseas markets.
