The International Fire & Safety Expo Korea 2026 is a primary venue for the latest advancements in fire-fighting solutions and safety technology. Scheduled to take place from May 20 (Wednesday) to May 22 (Friday), 2026, at EXCO in Daegu, South Korea, the expo provides a practical environment for industry professionals to share new methods and enhance public safety standards.
The History and Mission

Today, the expo focuses on integrating lessons from the past into effective safety solutions. By bringing together industry experts, equipment manufacturers, and policy-makers, it continues to set technical standards for the industry.
