RETECH 2026 takes place at KINTEX Hall 7 in Goyang from 2 September to 4 September 2026. Korea's international trade fair for waste management recycling and environmental technologies.
What the fair covers
Industrial machinery and production equipment form the bulk of what is shown. Korea's international trade fair for waste management recycling and environmental technologies. That shapes both the exhibitor mix and the questions worth preparing before you arrive.
Dates, venue and getting there
The fair runs from 2 September to 4 September 2026 at KINTEX Hall 7 in Goyang. It runs for 3 days, which is short, so deciding which halls to prioritise before arriving makes a difference. Goyang lies within the wider Seoul metropolitan area and hosts a large exhibition complex. Most international visitors stay in Seoul and travel out, so check the connection and journey time when planning your schedule.
Planning your visit
Machinery fairs justify the trip because equipment can be seen running. A machine on a stand tells you about cycle time, noise, footprint and build quality in a way that a specification sheet does not. Buyers usually come with a production requirement and compare how different suppliers propose to meet it. For RETECH 2026, that means preparing ahead of the September dates and arriving with a target list of stands.
Language and interpreting support
English coverage among exhibitors varies, and is often stronger among sales staff than among the engineers who can answer detailed technical questions. For technical sourcing in particular, arranging language support in advance is worth the effort. An interpreter already working in Goyang saves further time simply by knowing the venue and how to move around it.
After the fair
Buying production equipment is a longer commitment than buying goods. Installation, operator training, spare parts and service response all affect the real cost of ownership, and they are easier to negotiate before the order than after it. Factory visits are common before committing, since seeing the manufacturer build the machine tells you more than seeing it on a stand.
