G-FAIR KOREA 2026 to showcase 480 SMEs at KINTEX

Gyeonggi Province will host the 29th G-FAIR KOREA from the 29th to the 31st at KINTEX Exhibition Center 1 in Goyang, where approximately 400 international buyers from 26 countries are expected to attend.

The 29th G-FAIR KOREA 2026, an exhibition designed to support the market expansion of domestic small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), will be held for three days from the 29th to the 31st at KINTEX Exhibition Center 1 in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province.

Hosted by Gyeonggi Province, this year's exhibition will feature approximately 480 companies across 600 booths. The venue will be organized into four product categories—beauty, food, living, and tech—to introduce various domestic SME products to local and international buyers through export and purchase consultations.

G-FAIR KOREA, which began in 1999 at the Suwon Gymnasium with 85 participating companies, is now celebrating its 29th edition. The event is expected to draw approximately 400 international buyers from 26 countries and 250 product managers (MDs) from the domestic distribution industry. The exhibition aims to support participating companies in entering overseas markets and securing domestic distribution networks through export consultations for foreign buyers and purchase consultations for domestic distributors.

Programs to assist companies with practical export operations will also be available, including expert lectures and seminars on topics such as overseas market entry strategies, branding, exports, certification, and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG). On the 30th, the Gyeonggi Global AI Hub Attraction Strategy Forum will be held on the main stage, featuring expert presentations and policy discussions under the theme "AI Transformation, Connecting Gyeonggi and the World."

Support will also be provided to respond to the rapidly changing international trade environment. A Trade Crisis Response Zone will offer information on export support policies and provide customized consultations regarding the specific difficulties faced by companies. Additionally, a special awards exhibition will showcase representative products from participating companies selected based on innovation, technological prowess, and marketability.

For the second consecutive year, 132 companies are participating in the event. Gyeonggi Province plans to support companies so they can expand their contact with domestic and international buyers and continuously secure sales channels.

Experience programs for visitors will be operated, including virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) experience zones, a showroom, and roulette events. On the final day of the exhibition, programs such as magic shows will be held for family visitors.

Park Gyeong-seo, head of the International Trade Division of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "This will be a place where domestic SMEs and global buyers meet to introduce products and seek business opportunities. We will provide support so that the products of participating companies can lead to overseas market entry and export achievements."
