The Busan-Jinhae Free Economic Zone Authority (BJFEZ) will participate in the 2026 Korea International Machinery Exhibition (KIMEX 2026), held over four days from the 19th to the 22nd at the Changwon Convention Center (CECO) in South Gyeongsang Province, to promote investment in smart transportation and advanced materials, parts and equipment sectors.
Jointly hosted by South Gyeongsang Province and Changwon Special City, the exhibition will feature 160 companies across 350 booths. Participants include companies from traditional machinery industries such as metal processing and automation, as well as emerging sectors including aerospace and shipbuilding MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul).
During the event, BJFEZ will operate a promotional booth under the slogan "Your Success is our Top Priority!" The authority will also deploy investment project managers (PMs) to provide one-on-one customized investment consultations. In particular, it plans to focus on promoting the locational competitiveness of key investment hubs such as the Busan New Port and the Mieum and Nammun districts, centering on the shipbuilding MRO and advanced materials, parts and equipment sectors.
"KIMEX 2026 is a great opportunity to showcase BJFEZ's differentiated investment environment in Changwon, the core hub of the machinery industry," BJFEZ Commissioner Park Sung-ho said. "By attracting outstanding machinery companies, we will become a reliable success partner for entering the global market."
