From 13-16 October at KINTEX
Accompanied by one-on-one consulting for foreign buyers
& An international conference on IT convergence


The exhibition ‘IT Convergence Korea 2009’, which is set to focus on the development of IT convergence industry and how it has become integrated with the conventional industries such as autos and ships, will be held for the first time.


Organized by the KOTRA and the Korea Venture Business Association and hosted by the Ministry of Knowledge Economy, this exhibition will be held from 13-16 October at KINTEX in Goyang,    Gyeonggi  Province. Distinguished from conventional and IT industries, IT Convergence Korea 2009 is expected to offer displays solely on IT convergence as an independent industry. In this light, KOTRA is looking to support overseas promotion of domestic exhibition companies by inviting about 300 foreign buyers in related sectors.


IT Convergence Korea 2009 will includes an IT convergence hall named “Future Experience Hall”, with a total of six exhibition halls: “Green Car” (vehicle), “Digital Shipbuilding” (ship), “Welfare Convergence Platform” (medical sector), “Smart Grid” (electricity), “U-city” (construction), and “ITS & e-Government” (transportation and administration).


“Green Car” will show off a variety of IT technologies integrated with cars such as those which cut greenhouse-gas emissions as well as environmentally-friendly driving systems. At the Digital Shipbuilding display, state-of-the-art technologies related to ship movement, a satellite communication system, and an intelligent ship damage system will be exhibited. In the health care sector, technologies integrated with construction and fabric industries will be introduced, and in Smart Grid, new technologies controlling power usage are expected to be showcased.


The “Future Experience Hall”, set to run separately, will boast plenty of futuristic advanced technologies like computers with voice keyboards, voice technology that operates vehicle systems, and robots whose uses range from home cleaning to safety to after-school education.


“IT Convergence Korea 2009 marks the first time worldwide that an exhibition will introduces IT technology and products integrated with conventional industries, and we will expand our IT technologies into as many industrial fields as possible through this opportunity,” said Hyo-Choon, Yoon, head of the IT Industry Department of KOTRA.


KOTRA plans to invite 200 domestic companies to the show, while companies interested in participating in the show are asked to contact KOTRA’s IT Convergence Team at 82-2-3460-7469 or the Korea Venture Business Association at 82-2-890-6367.
