The two-day event will be held Feb. 11-12 at Sono Felice Convention near Coex in southern Seoul. A business exhibition will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Ruby Hall, featuring around 50 European small and medium-sized enterprises and startups showcasing semiconductor technologies and related solutions.

According to organizers, participating companies will present innovations across a broad range of fields, including chip design and manufacturing, materials and equipment, testing and packaging, advanced electronics, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and mobility solutions. The exhibition will be accompanied by one-on-one business meetings, giving Korean companies an opportunity to explore potential partnerships with European firms.

On Feb. 11, a business networking reception will be hosted at Lotte Hotel World by the Delegation of the European Union to the Republic of Korea. The reception will bring together European and Korean companies and key local business stakeholders for informal discussions on future innovation in the semiconductor sector.

Participating European companies will also visit SEMICON Korea 2026, one of Asia’s major semiconductor conferences and exhibitions, on Feb. 13. The visit is expected to provide additional opportunities for business consultations, including meetings with Korean exhibitors at their booths.

Participation in Semiconductors Korea 2026 is free of charge for Korean companies and organizations, regardless of size. Interested companies can register through the event’s website, where they can also browse the list of participating European firms and request meetings. Professional interpretation services will be provided during business discussions.

EU Business Hub has previously supported business cooperation between European and Korean companies in sectors such as digital solutions, health care and green technology through events like Digital Solutions Korea 2024, Healthcare and Medical Equipment Korea 2025 and Green and Low-Carbon Technologies Korea 2025. Organizers said the upcoming semiconductor event is one of seven planned business missions aimed at helping companies in both regions expand their global networks.
