The KINTEX Exhibition Hall 3 construction project will invest a total of 672.6 billion won, with completion targeted for 2028. Once finished, KINTEX will offer a total exhibition space of 170,000 square meters, combining the new hall with the existing Exhibition Halls 1 and 2, making it the largest exhibition venue in Korea.

This expansion is expected to make KINTEX capable of hosting major international events such as CES in the United States or IFA in Germany, significantly enhancing its competitiveness in the global MICE industry.

Lee Donghwan, Mayor of Goyang Special City, stated, "The groundbreaking of Exhibition Hall 3 is not just an expansion of facilities, but a cornerstone for Korea's exhibition industry to secure competitiveness on the world stage. Through the successful completion of this project, I hope KINTEX and Goyang City will become a hub leading a new leap forward for Korea's MICE industry."

The newly launched KINTEX Exhibition Hall 3 will consist of two exhibition halls, with a total area of 62,000 square meters, featuring six halls and a complex arrangement of meeting rooms. The exhibition halls will be large, single-story, pillarless spaces, making it easy to install large exhibits such as industrial goods. In addition, the venue will be built as a smart AI exhibition center, introducing an AI-based energy management system and an IoT-powered design and construction management system to enhance both operational efficiency and eco-friendliness.
