K-DEX 2026 (Korea International Army Defense Exhibition)

The inaugural Korea International Army Defense Exhibition (K-DEX) 2026 will take place from December 8–11, 2026, at KINTEX Exhibition Center 2 in Goyang, South Korea.

Established under the initiative of the Republic of Korea’s Ministry of National Defense, K-DEX unifies the former KADEX and DX KOREA exhibitions into a single international platform dedicated to land defense and military technology.

Jointly organized by the Korea Defense Industry Association (KDIA), the Association of the Republic of Korea Army (AROKA), and the Korea Defense Industry MICE Association (KDM), the exhibition will showcase the latest advancements in command and control, communications, armored vehicles, tactical mobility, firepower, force protection, logistics, aerospace, unmanned systems, artificial intelligence, robotics and other advanced defense technologies.

K-DEX 2026 will also feature an extensive business program, bringing together official military delegations, procurement authorities, defense attachés, government representatives, industry executives and selected international buyers. The event will include G2G, G2B and B2B meetings, conferences, seminars and networking opportunities aimed at strengthening defense exports, industrial cooperation and international partnerships.

K-DEX is expected to become one of Asia’s leading defense exhibitions, connecting global defense stakeholders with South Korea’s rapidly growing defense industry and technological capabilities.
