Exhibition pods now available at Kormarine 2023
SMI, in partnership with the UK’s
Department for Business and Trade (DBT), invites you to participate at Kormarine 2023 and exhibit at the show from just £400 + VAT.
We are seeking UK companies to join us in the UK Pavilion at Kormarine in Busan, October 24-27th 2023.
You’ll be joining more than 20,000 attendees and 1,500 exhibitors from 30 countries who will convene in Busan to showcase the best and latest in maritime technology, services and solutions spread across 35,000sqm of exhibition space. The four-day event comprises an exhibition and conference and brings together industry leaders and decision makers from the global maritime and ocean industries such as ship owners, shipbuilders, ship operators, equipment manufacturers and service providers.
With 38% of new vessel orders in 2022 taking place in Korean shipyards, as reported by Clarksons Research, Kormarine presents an excellent opportunity to showcase UK engineering technology and innovation.
Companies taking advantage of this offer will be provided with an exhibition ‘POD’ on a shared stand in the UK ‘GREAT’ Pavilion. You will also receive everything you need to make your participation a success, from enhanced promotion and visibility, access to exclusive networking events, 1-2-1 pre-event and on-stand support from the trade team in Busan and opportunities to meet with key decision makers in Korea. The image below provides a draft POD area design/layout for illustrative purposes.
