ENVEX 2025 spotlights Korea's green tech leadership
The Ministry of Environment and the Korea Environmental Conservation Institute are hosting the 46th International Exhibition on Environmental Technology & Green Energy this week in Seoul, highlighting Korea's leadership in green innovation and environmental solutions.
First held in 1979, ENVEX is Korea's longest-running annual environmental trade show and continues to serve as a vital platform for promoting sustainable technologies developed by small and medium-sized enterprises. This year's event, which runs through Friday, features 262 companies from 13 countries, with 626 exhibition booths expected to attract approximately 45,000 visitors.
The trade show spotlights advanced technologies to address the climate crisis and promote carbon neutrality, including carbon capture and storage membranes, energy-efficient water treatment systems and air pollution reduction devices. A major focus is placed on practical, market-ready solutions developed by small and medium-sized enterprises.
ENVEX 2025 is held in conjunction with Global Green Hub Korea, co-organized by multiple government agencies, including the Ministry of Environment and the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency. This initiative aims to help domestic green companies expand globally through buyer meetings and export support programs.
Additional events include business consultations with public sector agencies, intellectual property support from the Korean Intellectual Property Office, and venture capital matchmaking sessions to foster investment in promising green technologies.
ENVEX 2025 also supports green-certified companies, environmental new technology-certified companies, and startup firms by making their sales promotion videos and uploading those videos on their official YouTube channel. A virtual exhibition is to be held simultaneously to show exhibitors' products and technologies throughout the year, even after the exhibition ends.
'We hope ENVEX becomes a gateway for Korean green enterprises to access global markets,' said Deputy Minister of Climate Change and Carbon Neutral Policy Office at the Ministry of Environment Ahn Se-chang. 'We will continue to enhance the exhibition as a business-focused platform for commercialization and investment.'

Embattled food tycoon posts videos of store owners, as he tries to power through disputes
Paik Jong-won's company launches 'support committee' set to provide aid for store owners hurt by recent controversies Facing numerous controversies over quality control at his food company, food franchise entrepreneur Paik Jong-won recently put store owners in his culinary empire at the forefront by posting their videos and vowing to give them more input on company policies. Paik's official YouTube channel on Friday posted multiple short videos of store owners of Paik's franchises, introducing their respective restaurants. The videos did not carry any messages or appear to have alternate motives on surface, but was contrast sharply with the rest of the videos on the channel that heavily feature Paik himself. The videos were widely interpreted as an attempt to restore faith in Paik and his company TheBorn Korea, which recently faced an array of controversies and police investigations for issues ranging from alleged false advertisements to hygiene issues wtih ingredients. As of Sunday, police are investigating 14 cases related to Paik. Paik, whose booming business is largely attributed to his fame as TV celebrity, vowed on May 6 to cease all TV appearances to focus on changes within his company. He also stressed that the store owners under his franchises have been suffering from the recent situation, vowing for his company to spend 30 billion-won ($21.67 million) in subsidizing them. The plan included a company-subsidized sale across franchise stores affiliated with TheBorn Korea. Paik himself told reporters that he will pursue stern legal actions against attempts to distort his image, which he said can be traced to a few people online. The recent videos of the store owners on YouTube had their comment sections closed, with a warning that slander and groundless speculation against them could be subject to punishment. TheBorn Korea, at which Paik is the CEO, said Sunday it is pushing ahead with the plan to launch a committee that will function as communication channel between the company leadership, outside experts, and representatives of store owners. The committee will be where each party will be able to discuss the plans for Paik's franchise stores. According to the company, it has been hosting regular meetings between Paik and store owners since Paik announced the large-scale subsidy plan. The operation of the committee will be fully funded by Paik personally.
