The K-SmartHome Virtual Exhibition allows buyers to purchase products anytime and anywhere through the cyber exhibition, which is available 24/7, while complementing the disadvantages of offline exhibitions, which are limited to specified open hours. In addition, it is implemented based on 3D & VR technology so that people can have immersive experiences for various products related to smart homes in Korea.

The K-SmartHome Virtual Exhibition consists of a total of five categories, including Smart Appliances, Smart Interior & Furniture, Home Control, Home Security, and Energy Management. The Service Experience Zone is designed as an actual house, consisting of a bathroom, a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom, and a garden so that people can easily learn the location and function of each product. The Service Experience Zone is also expected to overcome the limitations of online sales by changing modes (Homecoming Mode, Sleep Mode, Outing Mode, Security Mode, and Other Products).

The K-SmartHome Virtual Exhibition puts a lot of importance in the goal of focusing on real business performance, not just on introducing the companies and products. It is pushing through with global promotion in connection with 129 foreign trade centers operated by KOTRA, and will also conduct search for overseas buyers, SNS promotion, and marketing activities. In mid-March, it will hold a video consultation meeting linking Vietnamese buyers and Korean companies. Vietnam, where information technology (IT) infrastructure is expanding in all areas, has emerged as the largest market for smart home and smart home industries in Korea. It will be conducted by matching business consultations between 35 Korean companies that have signed contracts with local agents and Vietnamese companies.

Currently, 53 companies are participating in the K-SmartHome Virtual Exhibition and up to 100 companies will participate by the end of 2021. The major participating companies are as follows. Ohsung Electronics (Open & Close Door Sensor), CVT Electronics (Smart Home Face Recognition Door Phone), CG Lighting (ColoRex Downlight), Puresys (Air Purifier Sterilizer), EOC (Dual Thermal IP Camera), Mercury (Wi-Fi Router), Emons (Smart Motion Bed), Elssen (IoT Smart Thermo-hygrometer)

The online exhibition will be open until the end of 2021, so anyone may visit at any time using their PCs or mobile devices.
