Marine Tech Korea 2014, 29th September - 2nd October 2014, South Korea
SMI are organising a British Pavilion to Marine Tech Korea 2014 together with a trade mission to the world's leading shipyards nearby.
Eligible SME's who are new to the event may be able to obtain a TAP grant of £2500.
SMI have negotiated very economical rates for UK firms to attend the Marine Trade Fair based in Changwon, at the centre of Korea's world leading Shipbuilding and maritime industries.
Marine Equipment manufacturers, suppliers and service companies that already have a foothold in the lucrative Korean market should consider this show as well as new companies who wish to enter what is the World's leading shipbuilding market.
Changwon is about an hour's drive from Busan and is situated on the mainland adjacent to Geoje Island, the home of leading shipbuilders: Samsung Heavy Industries; Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Co. Ltd. Nearby on the mainland, is the dynamic STX Shipbuilding Co. Ltd and Jinhae Heavy Industries. Also SLS Shipbuilding Co. Ltd; Sungdong Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Co. Ltd; SPP Shipbuilding Co. Ltd; 21st Century Shipbuilding Co. Ltd and Samho Shipbuilding Co. Ltd.
Many of these companies will be exhibiting in a big way at 'Marine Tech' and their procurement teams will be on hand.
BMEA has visited, on one of its regular Trade Missions to Korean Shipyards, the R&D and procurement centre of STX Shipbuilding Co. Ltd which is based in Changwon itself.
As well as Korean shipbuilders being present, there will also be a number of Korean Shipowners and Operators, the Korean Offshore Industries and a Marine Safety and Security Section.
There will be a comprehensive meet the buyer programme over a 2 day period. Following the exhibition, there will be a Trade Mission to the world's leading Shipyards nearby and on Geoje Island via the new Causeway.
