Korea showcases its chipmaking future at SEDEX 2025

SEOUL, October 22 (AJP) - South Korea opened its largest semiconductor exhibition on Wednesday, bringing together industry leaders, engineers, and policymakers.

The Semiconductor Expo, or SEDEX 2025, runs through Friday at COEX in Seoul and features more than 280 companies — including Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, Jusung Engineering, Dongjin Semichem, PSK, and Wonik — across more than 700 booths. Organizers expect roughly 60,000 visitors over the three-day event.

This year’s exhibition focuses on how the industry can push technological boundaries and strengthen collaboration across the semiconductor ecosystem in the age of artificial intelligence.

Samsung Electronics is highlighting its newest high-bandwidth memory, the HBM4, along with the Exynos 2600 mobile application processor built with cutting-edge 2-nanometer technology.

SK hynix is presenting its own lineup of AI memory solutions, including HBM4, high-capacity DDR5, Compute Express Link (CXL) modules, and high-performance enterprise solid-state drives.

Keynote speakers include Song Jae-hyuk, Samsung’s chief technology officer and head of the Korea Semiconductor Industry Association, and Sung Yun-mo, a former industry and energy minister and now a professor at Chung-Ang University.

“SEDEX 2025 showcases the relentless innovation of Korea’s semiconductor companies,” said Kim Jeong-hoi, vice chairman of the Korea Semiconductor Industry Association. “The collaboration and creativity on display here reflect the future direction of our industry.”
