South Korea's premier drone technology exhibition, DSK 2025, is set to convene at BEXCO in Busan from February 26-28, bringing together 290 companies from 14 countries to showcase cutting-edge drone innovations. The event will feature 1,100 booths spanning diverse sectors including agriculture, security, logistics, defense, and aerospace.
This year's exhibition represents a significant milestone, with international participation more than doubling compared to previous years. Countries including the United States, China, Japan, Germany, and Israel will present their latest drone technologies, highlighting the global nature of unmanned systems development.
The event will feature specialized pavilions addressing critical technological domains. The Defense Zone will host major Korean defense industry leaders, while the Aerospace Pavilion will showcase collaborative efforts from startups, research institutions, and universities. Notably, an Anti-Drone System Pavilion will demonstrate advanced counter-unmanned aircraft technologies.
DSK 2025 goes beyond traditional exhibition formats by incorporating entertainment and sustainability elements. A 500-drone fireworks display will open the event, and interactive experiences like water drone racing and metaverse exploration will engage attendees. The exhibition has also committed to being a Net Zero event, offsetting carbon emissions through on-site revenue.
The accompanying DSK Conference will explore crucial industry topics including national security, international business opportunities, AI applications, and sustainable aviation. A special networking reception will facilitate connections between 500 industry stakeholders, providing a platform for innovative pitch sessions.
With participation from leading entities like the Ministry of Trade, Industry & Energy and the Korea Aerospace Administration, DSK 2025 represents more than an exhibition—it is a strategic platform showcasing South Korea's technological leadership in drone and robotics innovation.
