Korea Army International Defense Industry Exhibition

The Korea Army International Defense Industry Exhibition (KADEX) is Asia’s largest specialized trade show for land-based weapons systems. As a professional exhibition services provider, Juzhan invites you to join us in entering the Korean and global defense markets, capitalizing on trillion-dollar opportunities in the defense industry, and showcasing your core strengths while connecting with worldwide resources at this premier defense event!

The exhibition enjoys robust sponsorship from multiple Korean government ministries, including the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Science and ICT, and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, as well as key authorities such as the Defense Acquisition Program Administration and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It also receives strong support from specialized organizations like the Korea Defense Diplomacy Association and the Defense Industry Association, ensuring that its scale and industry influence consistently rank among the highest in Asia.

This edition of the exhibition is held at the Gyeonggi-do Combined Military Base—the headquarters of the Republic of Korea Army, Navy, and Air Force—making it a central hub for national defense in South Korea and providing unparalleled locational advantages for facilitating precise matchmaking between international exhibitors, military representatives, and procurement professionals.

Spanning a total area of 42,000 square meters, the Korea Army International Defense Industry Exhibition (KADEX) brings together over 500 leading defense companies from around the globe, attracting official delegations from 50 countries and more than 100,000 specialized procurement professionals in the defense sector. It stands as a premier platform for defense enterprises to showcase their products, expand distribution channels, and forge international partnerships.

Breaking away from traditional boundaries of ground equipment exhibitions, KADEX has created an integrated defense showcase encompassing both weapon systems and non‑weapon technologies. Covering everything from ground combat platforms and ammunition to precision manufacturing, defense electronics, aerospace and aviation subsystems, and specialized military vehicles, the event also highlights critical non‑weapon domains such as logistics support and defense technology R&D, comprehensively addressing the diverse procurement needs of the global defense market.

Leading Korean domestic enterprises—including Hanwha Aerospace, Hanwha Systems, Hyundai Wia, Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), and LIG Nex1—as well as internationally renowned defense firms such as SAAB, HENSOLDT, and SAFRAN, will all make high‑profile appearances. In addition, KADEX gathers specialized entities like the R&D bureaus of the Republic of Korea Ministry of National Defense and regional industrial promotion agencies, enabling exhibitors to gain close insights into cutting-edge global defense technology trends, engage directly with industry leaders, and explore collaborative opportunities.
