South Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources said Boom-Up Korea Biz Week 2026 runs on 21–22 October at KINTEX in Ilsan. The event brings together 530 global companies and 1,400 Korean companies; named participants include Lonza, JD.com and Mitsubishi Electric.

The ministry targets about 4,500 export consultations and 100 memorandums of understanding; its approximately USD 200 million export-contract figure is also a target, not completed sales. The programme focuses on regional firms, biotechnology and consumer goods, and links the venue with online consultations and regional events.
