This exhibition, co-hosted by the Korea Battery Industry Association, COEX, and KOTRA, was first held last year in response to the rapid growth of the European battery industry. This year, more than 70 companies and organizations from the entire secondary battery sector, including secondary batteries, capacitors, manufacturing equipment, and inspection and measurement devices, are participating. Over 8,000 related domestic and international investors and professionals are expected to attend this global expo.

Gumi City introduced its national industrial complex and promoted various incentives and business support policies to establish a global network for building a secondary battery ecosystem.

Investment consultations were held with domestic and international companies to promote the investment feasibility of Gumi City and the potential for the development of the secondary battery ecosystem. Joint booths were operated with local companies to lay the groundwork for Gumi-based businesses to enter the European market.

Investments from companies possessing core secondary battery technologies, such as Orta Materials and ISU Specialty Chemical, are continuing.
