For this year's exhibition, Gyeonggi Province will focus on enhancing the quality of export consultations through a pre-verification process for buyers. In addition, major domestic and international online and offline distribution channel merchandisers will participate to intensively support promising consumer goods categories.


Furthermore, a Trade Crisis Response Center will be established to provide consultation space for Gyeonggi Province and government support policies. The experience zone will also be expanded to create an interactive exhibition space where participating companies, buyers, and visitors can "experience, stay, and consume" together.


Kyungseo Park, Director of International Trade at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "Amid increasing uncertainty in the external economic environment due to the recent global economic slowdown, geopolitical tensions, and the spread of protectionism, it has become even more important for SMEs to secure overseas sales channels and expand stable distribution networks. Through G-Fair Korea 2026, we will actively support outstanding Korean SMEs in creating real business opportunities and expanding both export and domestic sales channels."



Last year, 502 companies participated in the exhibition, holding consultations with 606 overseas buyers and 205 domestic distribution merchandisers. As a result, the event achieved export consultations worth USD 733 million and purchasing consultations totaling KRW 127.5 billion.
