“Korea Construction & Safety Expo 2026” to Be Held This October
In 2025, despite the Korean government’s strengthened safety policies, construction sites and various industrial sectors continued to experience frequent accidents. As a result, the government is shifting its focus from post-accident response to proactive accident prevention, and is expected to expand policies centered on AI-, robotics-, and smart-technology–based disaster and safety management throughout the coming year.
This shift was clearly reflected at the Korea Construction & Safety Expo, held in September. A wide range of cutting-edge safety technologies—including AI-powered control platforms, digital-twin–based site monitoring systems, and robotic devices for entering high-risk areas—were showcased, drawing strong attention to their effectiveness and growing necessity in the field.
The event also featured 31 conferences organized by leading construction and safety institutions, along with a Special Pavilion on Underground Safety, enabling visitors to gain an in-depth understanding of emerging industry issues such as smart construction, digitalization, and advanced site-safety management.
This year’s expo achieved record-breaking performance with 186 exhibiting companies, over 20,000 visitors, and more than 2,000 business consultations, highlighting its growing influence as a leading industry platform.
