The Korea Venture Business Association (Chairman Song Byung-jun) announced that it will be recruiting venture companies to participate in the Korean pavilion at the '2025 Barcelona Smart City Expo World Congress (SCEWC)', which will be held in Barcelona, Spain for three days from Tuesday, November 4 to Thursday, November 6, until Thursday, August 14.
SCEWC is the world's largest smart city exhibition, attracting participation from 850 cities across 135 countries and approximately 860 global companies each year. Around 150 side events and business exchanges are planned, covering a wide range of topics, including digital transformation, urban environments, mobility, and government innovation.
The association, together with KOTRA, will establish a Korean joint pavilion to support seven venture companies, and will provide various benefits to participating companies, including ▲70% support for exhibition participation and incidental expenses, ▲one-way sea transportation costs (1CBM), ▲pre-marketing and local promotion, ▲on-site exhibition support such as buyer meeting arrangements and interpretation fees.
An association official said, “SCEWC is the stage where you can most quickly experience global trends related to smart cities,” and “It will be a strategic opportunity for venture companies hoping to enter the European market.”
Companies participating in the 2024 expo expressed high satisfaction, saying, "We experienced a global platform that connects diverse countries, industries, and people around the world and fosters innovation."
Any venture company preparing to enter the European and global markets in smart city-related fields such as artificial intelligence, data, IoT, energy/environment, mobility, architectural technology, security, finance, and drones is eligible to participate.
