The Organizing Committee of K-DEX 2026 (Korea International Army Defense Exhibition) has announced that the inaugural edition of Korea’s newly integrated ground defense exhibition will be held December 8–11, 2026, at KINTEX Exhibition Center 2 in Goyang, Republic of Korea.
K-DEX 2026 was established following the Republic of Korea Ministry of National Defense’s initiative to consolidate KADEX and DX KOREA into a single international event. By creating one international platform, the exhibition is intended to strengthen Korea’s global defense exhibition presence and expand international cooperation and industry engagement.
The integrated event brings together the expertise, networks, and industry resources developed through both legacy exhibitions. The single platform is designed to offer greater value to exhibitors, official delegations, defense organizations, government agencies, and international partners while enhancing the effectiveness of Korea’s defense exhibition ecosystem.
Jointly hosted by the Korea Defense Industry Association (KDIA), the Association of the Republic of Korea Army (AROKA), and the Korea Defense Industry MICE Association (KDM), K-DEX 2026 will highlight innovations across land defense and emerging military technologies.
The exhibition will span command and control, communications, armored and tactical mobility systems, firepower, force protection, logistics and sustainment, aerospace technologies, unmanned platforms, artificial intelligence, robotics, and other advanced defense capabilities supporting the future operational environment.
A comprehensive business program will bring together official military and government delegations, procurement authorities, defense attachés, defense industry executives, and 100 carefully selected international buyers. G2G, G2B, and B2B meetings, conferences, seminars, and networking events will provide opportunities for technology exchange and the formation of international defense partnerships.
As Korea’s role in the global defense market grows, K-DEX is expected to connect overseas defense stakeholders with Korean defense manufacturers, technology developers, and government organizations. The exhibition is also expected to advance defense exports, industrial cooperation, joint development initiatives, and long-term strategic partnerships.
The organizers envision K-DEX evolving into an international platform where governments, armed forces, industry, academia, and research institutions work together to address future security challenges, promote technological innovation, and strengthen global defense cooperation.
Additional information on exhibitor participation, official delegation programs, conferences, and visitor registration will be released through the official K-DEX communication channels.
