The eighth edition of Korea Construction & Safety Expo, to be held on 14-16 October 2026 at the Korea International Exhibition Centre (Kintex) in Goyang, South Korea, is set to focus on four new special pavilions aligned with emerging industry demand:

•  Advanced Safety Pavilion: AI- and sensor-driven accident prediction and smart monitoring/control solutions

•  Underground Safety Pavilion: technologies addressing urban ground subsidence and related public safety issues

•  Heavy Equipment & Attachments Pavilion: unmanned/automated technologies and equipment safety solutions

•  Demolition Industry Advancement Pavilion: showcasing advanced models covering the full demolition lifecycle

Organised by Kintex, the expo is dedicated exclusively to construction and safety. It is supported by the Korean government and more than 40 related organisations, providing exhibitors with opportunities to expand their domestic and global market channels. The previous edition drew participation from 186 companies, generating KRW 66.1 billion in contract-driven outcomes.

Exhibitor registration opens

Exhibitor registration is now available, with early-bird discounts offered until 27 February 2026. The application is open to domestic and international companies across the full spectrum of construction and safety – covering construction technology and safety management, smart construction, and advanced solutions based on drones, robots and AI.

According to Kintex, companies that complete Phase 1 early-bird registration by 27 February will receive a US$300 discount per booth, along with pre-show marketing support through Kintex-owned promotional channels. A second phase of early-bird discounts will be applied sequentially through the end of May.

“The 2026 Korea Construction & Safety Expo goes beyond a product showcase – it is a practical marketplace connecting government policy with real-world industry needs,” said Minwoo Lee, CEO of Kintex. “The four new special pavilions will be core spaces presenting both the present and future of construction safety, and we look forward to strong interest and participation from relevant companies.”
