The 2025 ADEX, held from October 17 to 24, was the largest ever. The event adopted a dual-venue format, with public airshow events at Seoul Airport and exhibitions and business meetings at KINTEX, which received an enthusiastic response from citizens and visitors alike.

At this exhibition, Seongnam City operated the "Seongnam City Group Pavilion," featuring ten promising local defense companies, including Jiwoo Information Technology (mobile video simulated shooting systems), Komotek (ultra-compact low-voltage servo motors), and Kuopin (AI semiconductors for defense). The city actively supported these companies in expanding into overseas markets and boosting their domestic market presence.

In particular, EVT Co., Ltd. (CEO: Kim Bangyong), a company specializing in RF communication-based drone detection, showcased an ultra-compact, ultra-lightweight anti-drone detection scanner that guarantees a high operational success rate even in battlefield environments. This innovation attracted significant attention and strong interest from overseas buyers, especially those from Europe.

Additionally, battery specialist B2 Solution Co., Ltd. (CEO: Kim Sangkyum) held collaboration meetings with major corporations in the industry during the exhibition and laid the groundwork for expanding its domestic market by working with Korean buyers to localize imported components.

Meanwhile, ADEX, which began as an airshow in 1996 and is held biennially, is the largest defense industry exhibition in Korea. The next event is scheduled for 2027. Seongnam City plans to continue supporting local defense companies in strengthening their technological competitiveness and expanding into global markets.
