One-to-one business meetings to foster practical cooperation and partnerships with European companies in the green and low-carbon technology sector

EU Pavilion at Korea’s leading environmental and energy exhibition, ‘ENVEX 2026,’ showcasing advanced European technologies and facilitating dialogue on innovation

(14 April 2026) The EU Business Hub programme will participate in the International Exhibition on Environmental Technology & Green Energy, ENVEX 2026, taking place from 20 to 22 May at COEX in Seoul, with a large-scale EU Pavilion.

The business exhibition will be held at the EU Pavilion in Hall A on the first floor of COEX, operating from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on 20 and 21 May, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the final day, 22 May. The exhibition will feature 50 promising European SMEs and start-ups, covering a full spectrum of green and low-carbon technologies, including water treatment solutions, clean energy technologies, energy systems, environmental monitoring instruments, and advanced climate mitigation solutions. Participating companies will showcase their latest innovations and technological advancements.

Through the exhibition, Korean companies will have the opportunity to directly assess the competitiveness of the participating European companies and explore concrete collaboration opportunities through business meetings, including strategic partnerships, identification of purchasing and distribution partners, licensing and technology transfer, and investment opportunities.

To further promote in-depth exchanges, a business networking reception will be held on the afternoon of 20 May at the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas, organised by the Delegation of the European Union to the Republic of Korea. The reception will provide a platform for European and Korean companies to discuss innovation trends in the green and low-carbon technology sector in a relaxed setting, with key representatives from Korea’s industry expected to attend.

Korean companies and institutions interested in participating in the business exhibition or networking reception may register free of charge, regardless of size, via the pre-registration form. Participants may also indicate their interest in meeting specific European companies in advance when registering on the EU Business Hub website. Professional interpretation services will be provided to ensure smooth communication during business meetings.

The EU Business Hub is an EU-funded programme that serves as a bridge between European SMEs and startups and the Republic of Korea. By 2027, the programme will organise a total of 10 business missions across the sectors of green and low-carbon technologies, digital solutions, and healthcare and medical equipment. Each exhibition will feature 50 carefully selected European companies, showcasing competitive technologies and solutions to the Korean market.

To date, the EU Business Hub has successfully facilitated tangible business cooperation between European and Korean companies through five missions. Building on this momentum, the programme will continue to support the expansion of global networks between the two regions through five upcoming exhibitions, including ‘EU Business Hub @ ENVEX 2026’.
