Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Small and Medium Business Center (GSBC) are recruiting businesses to participate in the 2015 G-FAIR KOREA (exhibition for outstanding Korean products).

G-FAIR KOREA will take place from November 5 to 8 in Exhibition Hall 1 at Ilsan KINTEX. It is the largest exhibition in Korea for outstanding products produced by small and medium enterprises. 

Celebrating its 18th occasion, G-FAIR KOREA is the leading comprehensive exhibition for small and medium enterprises. The event is co-hosted by Gyeonggi Province and the Small and Medium Business Centers Association (SMBCA) and supervised by GSBC. 

For small and medium enterprises that apply early and pay their application fees by May 31, standard booths (4m×3m×H2.5m) will be priced at KRW 1,000,000 – a KRW 500,000 discount – by GSBC. Companies that participated last year are also eligible for this discount. 

Product promotion will be supported for participating businesses through a wide range of online channels including the G-FAIR website, blog, SNS networks, and newsletter. 

The 2015 G-FAIR is expected to host 1,000 booths from 800 companies. Not only will the event be an opportunity for small and medium enterprises to exhibit their outstanding products, it will also be a place for global business activities with various supplementary events such as invitational conferences and seminars with domestic and international buyers.

Also this year, a special exhibition hall for over 100 companies related to the sports industry will be featured at G-FAIR KOREA to foster the growth of that industry in Gyeonggi Province. Thus a wider range of attractions is anticipated at this year’s event.

G-FAIR KOREA is slated to exhibit and sell various exhibition products including mainstays for small and medium enterprises such as electric and electronic products, gift products, agricultural and marine food products, and more. The event is expected to be a significant opportunity to promote the superior products of local small and medium enterprises to domestic and international buyers as well as ordinary consumers.

Businesses seeking to participate in G-FAIR KOREA can sign up for membership at the G-FAIR KOREA website (www.gfair.or.kr) and apply to participate in the event. For more details, please contact the Exhibition Convention Team at GSBC (031-259-6122~3).
