2020 Korea Safety Industry Expo Held Online Without In-Person Contact

[Suwon Ilbo=Park Nohoon Reporter] Gyeonggi Province announced on the 25th that it will hold the '2020 Korea Safety Industry Expo (K-Safety Expo 2020)' online from the 26th to 30th.

The Korea Safety Industry Expo, marking its sixth edition this year, has been jointly hosted annually by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, and Gyeonggi Province since 2015 to strengthen safety management capabilities utilizing advanced technology and foster the safety industry.

This year, due to COVID-19, the expo will be held as a non-contact online exhibition. Through the online exhibition hall on the official website (www.k-safetyexpo.com), approximately 450 organizations and companies including large corporations, small and medium enterprises, and public institutions will participate to showcase advanced technologies and products.

The 'online safety industry expo,' attempting a new format, provides an exhibition hall where safety technologies and products can be viewed at a glance and business programs differentiated from other online expos.

In particular, various programs have been organized including non-contact export video consultation meetings held three times (pre-exhibition, main exhibition, and ongoing) and 'K-Safety Live Broadcasting' where company officials directly introduce advanced products and technologies in real time.

'Safe Korea ON' introducing safety industry support policies of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and Gyeonggi Province, as well as an 'online showcase' distinctively presenting products from companies that received this year's Safety Innovation Award, have also been prepared.

In addition to providing company introductions and product information through videos, various features necessary for online platforms are offered, including video consultation requests, similar product recommendations, and multilingual translation services.

The expo can be viewed and participated in for free by anyone through the official website of the '2020 Online Korea Safety Industry Expo (Online K-Safety Expo 2020)' (www.k-safetyexpo.com).

Cho Don-hyup, Head of the Safety Planning Division of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "Although this is the first online expo being attempted this year, it will allow easy access to various advanced products, and by strengthening online and offline business programs, it is expected to provide significant assistance in developing markets for the safety industry."
