Seoul Business Agency is recruiting outstanding corporations in the robotics field to participate in "Seoul AI Robot Show 2026," which will be held at COEX in Seoul in October.
Seoul Business Agency said on the 12th that it will host the 2nd Seoul AI Robot Show at COEX in Seoul for three days from Oct. 6 to 8, and will recruit around 20 corporations for an innovation zone that will showcase physical AI and the latest robot technologies.
Selected corporations will be provided free exhibition booths and basic fixtures to promote their products and services. To expand investment opportunities, 1-on-1 investment consultations will be arranged with investors suited to each corporation's technology profile. Visitor feedback collected during the exhibition will be shared with the participating corporations, and corporations chosen through visitor evaluations will receive a commendation from the Seoul mayor.
Applications can be submitted online via the Seoul Business Agency website from June 12 to July 3. Corporations that possess robot-related technologies or run businesses based on robots, as well as those in related fields such as robot software and physical AI, can apply. Corporations with their own products or services will receive preference in selection.
Now in its second year, the Seoul AI Robot Show will be held under the theme "Robots in everyday life." In addition to core physical AI technologies such as Humanoid Robot and Autonomous Driving robots, a variety of service robots will be introduced. A range of content, including hands-on programs in which citizens can directly participate and robot performances, will also be offered.
First held last year, the Seoul AI Robot Show drew public attention by showcasing extreme robot technologies used in environments difficult for humans to access—such as disaster sites, outer space, and the deep sea—under the theme "Robot-friendly city Seoul."
Cha Gi-seok, head of the Future Innovation Headquarters at Seoul Business Agency, said, "This year's Seoul AI Robot Show is being prepared so that citizens can directly experience the future of the robot industry through a variety of content, including hands-on programs and performances that leverage core physical AI and the latest robot technologies," adding, "As it is a great opportunity to present innovative robot technologies and services to citizens, we look forward to strong interest and participation from robot corporations with excellent technological capabilities."
