For more than four decades, SIMTOS, Korea’s largest and most influential manufacturing exhibition, has been a cornerstone of innovation and progress for manufacturers worldwide. Building on this legacy, M.A.D.E. in SIMTOS, launched in 2024, was conceived to move beyond the boundaries of a traditional trade show. It serves as both a testbed for digital innovation on the factory floor and a digitalization platform that fosters deeper cooperation networks between suppliers and end-users across the manufacturing ecosystem.
At M.A.D.E. in SIMTOS, visitors can explore a comprehensive showcase of technologies that are shaping the future of manufacturing. The exhibition covers a broad spectrum of innovation drivers, including industrial and service robots, 3D printing, advanced materials, engineering software, distribution automation, IIoT, MES/HMI, cloud and edge computing, AI and deep learning, digital twins, CPS, and drones. It also places a spotlight on digital solutions integrated into real-world production processes—from die casting and welding to injection molding—offering visitors an immersive experience of how digital transformation is implemented directly on the shop floor.
Companies participating in M.A.D.E. in SIMTOS will have the opportunity to connect with exhibitors from across the five specialized pavilions of SIMTOS 2026, facilitating partnerships and strengthening supply-demand collaboration within the manufacturing ecosystem. These pavilions bring together industries spanning automotive, semiconductors, electronics, aviation, aerospace, bio, and energy, and participating companies are expected to leverage the special exhibition to engage with potential partners and expand global interactions.
In addition to showcasing their brands and technologies, participants can take advantage of SIMTOS-hosted events such as new product presentations, open seminars, and technical conferences to enhance their visibility and industry engagement. Networking opportunities begin even before the exhibition, with CEO forums and pre-event business networking sessions, enabling participants to establish key connections in advance. During the exhibition, companies can also benefit from 1:1 business consultations through the MM4U Customized Consultation program and the Pavilion Leader Invitation Tour, designed to deliver concrete business outcomes.
Through M.A.D.E. in SIMTOS, the exhibition continues to redefine its role—not just as a venue for showcasing technologies, but as a dynamic platform driving digital transformation, collaboration, and innovation across the global manufacturing landscape.
