Cophex Goyang

COPHEX – the Korea International Pharmaceutical & Bio-Pharma Exhibition – is South Korea’s leading trade fair for the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries. Held annually at the renowned KINTEX Korea International Exhibition Center in Goyang, a modern city near Seoul, COPHEX has established itself as a key hub for high-tech and science-related exhibitions in recent years. More than just a trade show, the name COPHEX stands for innovation, quality, and direct dialogue between research, development, and industry.

Organized by Kyungyon Exhibition Corp., one of South Korea’s most experienced trade fair organizers, COPHEX is known for its professional execution of international industry events. It is a highly specialized platform tailored to the specific needs of the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors. The focus is on cutting-edge developments in active pharmaceutical ingredients, advanced manufacturing technologies, laboratory equipment, quality control systems, cleanroom solutions, and efficient packaging and process technologies.

Exhibitors from South Korea and around the world showcase highly specialized solutions – from precision analytical instruments and GMP-compliant production systems to intelligent packaging technologies that meet global regulatory standards. The exhibition covers the entire pharmaceutical value chain, offering significant added value to decision-makers, buyers, researchers, and developers seeking targeted innovations.

A defining feature of COPHEX is its interdisciplinary concept. It is part of a larger trade fair cluster that includes related industries such as medical technology, biotechnology, and cosmetics manufacturing. This creates valuable synergies between sectors and enhances the visitor experience. Expert lectures, networking events, and themed special exhibitions further enrich the program, making COPHEX a key meeting point for industry professionals.

Exhibitors represent a broad spectrum of fields – from pharmaceutical companies and biotech start-ups to engineering firms specializing in cleanroom systems. Visitors primarily include professionals from research, development, production, quality assurance, and procurement – from both the private sector and public institutions such as government agencies and universities. The international character of the event underscores Korea’s role as a dynamic hub of the Asian pharmaceutical industry.

KINTEX is one of the largest and most advanced exhibition centers in Asia, conveniently accessible via Incheon International Airport or by high-speed train from Seoul. With its excellent infrastructure, modern hotels, and vibrant dining scene, Goyang offers an ideal setting for this high-caliber industry event.

COPHEX is more than a trade show – it is the central meeting point for those shaping the future of the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries.
