KADEX 2026: Asia's Largest Land Defense Exhibition Set for October at Gyeryongdae

KADEX 2026, the Korea Army International Defense Industry Exhibition, will be held October 6-10 at Gyeryongdae military headquarters in Chungcheongnam-do. Themed "Physical AI, Dominate the Battlefield," the event will feature over 450 companies across 2,032 booths — the largest scale in its history — with VIP delegations from 50 countries. Hanwha, Hyundai Rotem, KAI, LIG Nex1, and Poongsan have confirmed participation. Exhibition space is organized by battlefield function (Intelligence & C4I, Maneuver, Firepower, Protection & Anti-Drone, Space & Aerospace, Power Support) rather than by company. A dedicated "KADEX LAB Defense Startup Innovation Pavilion" will spotlight AI, robotics, and autonomous systems startups.
