[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] The 'International Police Industry Expo,' which received great response last year as Korea's first specialized police industry expo, will return this year as an untact online expo.

The National Police Agency announced on the 24th that, in cooperation with Incheon Metropolitan City, it will hold the '2nd International Police Industry Expo (Korea Police World Expo 2020)' online for three days from the 21st to the 23rd of next month.

The Police Industry Expo, first held last year at Songdo Convensia in Incheon to promote the domestic police industry, successfully opened with 140 companies from home and abroad and 17,000 visitors.

This year, considering the safety of participating companies and visitors amid the COVID-19 situation, an online exhibition hall will be operated, and seminars such as video export consultations and the CSI conference will be held for the first time over three days on the website (www.police-expo.com).

The online expo hall will be centered around company promotion halls where technology and business exchanges take place, and police R&D research achievements promotion halls. Additionally, side events such as video export consultations to support companies' overseas exports and online conferences to share knowledge related to future policing will be prepared.

The online exhibition halls will include the Police Mobile Equipment & Drone Hall, Police Personal Equipment Hall, Police ICT Hall, Crime Prevention Equipment & System Hall, Crime Investigation & Forensics Equipment Hall, Traffic Equipment & System Hall, and Smart City Hall, all implemented online. Furthermore, individual company halls will feature digital content introducing the companies' main products, with real-time one-on-one video consultations conducted during the event period.

In particular, through the 'Video Export Consultation' prepared in collaboration with the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA), the expo will support domestic companies in pioneering practical overseas markets by attracting excellent overseas buyers and linking them with outstanding domestic companies.

Companies wishing to participate in this year's online International Police Industry Expo can obtain related information by contacting the expo website or the secretariat. The online expo platform being established this time is expected to be utilized in connection with offline expos even after the end of COVID-19.

A National Police Agency official said, “We will do our best to promote the police industry through the online expo and at the same time show the public the present and future image of the police.”
