The Seoul International Aerospace & Defense Exhibition (Seoul ADEX 2023) is Northeast Asia’s premier aerospace and defense trade show, bringing together aircraft, ground equipment, static displays and flight demonstrations under one roof. Hosted at Seoul Airport from 17–22 October 2023, the event is co-organised by KAIA, KDIA and KOTRA. 

The exhibition serves as a key enabler of South Korea’s ambition to elevate its defence industry, attract global partnerships and enhance its export footprint. In 2023, representation spanned more than 35 countries, forming a robust international forum for collaboration and innovation. 

Visitors—including suppliers, OEMs, government authorities and entire delegations—engaged in high-level networking, one-to-one meetings, technological showcases and strategic panels. Seoul ADEX thus functions not just as a trade event, but as a global launchpad for aerospace and defence cooperation.
