Busan Metropolitan City, led by Mayor Chun Jae-soo, announced that it will jointly host the 2026 K-Safety Expo with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, led by Minister Yun Ho-jung, from today, September 2, through September 4 at BEXCO Exhibition Center 1.

Now in its 12th year, the K-Safety Expo showcases outstanding products and technologies from promising disaster and safety companies and supports their efforts to enter overseas markets. Through these efforts, the expo has helped drive the development of Korea’s disaster and safety industry and contributed to establishing disaster management systems based on advanced technologies.

This year’s opening ceremony will take place at 11:00 a.m. on September 2 at BEXCO Exhibition Center 1. The expo will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and admission is free for all visitors.

Under the theme “Converging Advanced Technologies, Shaping the Future of Safety,” this year’s expo will bring together 340 organizations and companies across a total of 920 booths.

The expo will feature a diverse range of programs, including the Advanced Disaster and Safety Industry Pavilion, where visitors can explore next-generation disaster response technologies at a glance, export consultation meetings with overseas buyers and investors, and a Global Business Forum.

The exhibition will comprise corporate pavilions covering six major safety sectors, a public-sector exhibition area, and an Advanced Disaster and Safety Industry Zone. Innovative products designed to enable immediate responses to disasters such as flooding, earthquakes, fires, and landslides will be on display.

The expo will also place particular emphasis on products and technologies that integrate advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and drones, presenting a variety of disaster management systems designed to respond rapidly to the fast-changing disaster environment.

To support a science-based response to an increasingly complex and diverse disaster and safety environment driven by climate change and industrial advancement, the expo will introduce products and technologies that utilize advanced solutions such as AI-powered robots and drones.

Notably, this year’s expo will be held at BEXCO in Busan for the second time, following the 10th edition in 2024. The organizers plan to further enhance its standing as a global expo by expanding participation by overseas buyers and strengthening support for companies seeking to develop domestic and international sales channels.

The Global Corporate Pavilion will feature 22 companies from nine countries. During the exhibition, purchasing and export consultation meetings will be held to actively support overseas market development for Korean technologies and products.

Busan Metropolitan City will also operate a dedicated promotional pavilion to introduce key municipal initiatives, including a safety industry promotion facility for steep slopes and landslides, AI-based steep-slope safety management, the Disaster and Safety Industry Support Center, International Safe City Busan, and Busan Safety ON.
