ABOUT WCE
Who We Are
The World Climate Industry EXPO (WCE) is a major international event hosted by the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment of the Republic of Korea. It aims to take the lead in the global response to the climate crisis and the realization of carbon neutrality.
Since its launch in 2023, WCE has built strong partnerships with international organizations and received active engagement from the industry. The 2026 edition will further expand its role as a key global platform for innovation and cooperation in the climate and energy sectors.
WCE 2026 will be held from September 16 to 18, 2026, at BEXCO, Busan, under the theme "Energy for AI & AI for Energy." The event will highlight the pivotal role of artificial intelligence in building a sustainable, secure, and efficient global energy system. It will also explore how to address the surging energy demand driven by AI, and how AI can bring innovation across energy production, consumption, and distribution.
The expo will feature three summits (Global Leadership, Energy & AI, and Climate), along with specialized conferences participated by senior officials from international organizations and governments worldwide.
The exhibition will showcase cutting-edge technologies from leading domestic and international companies across diverse sectors including clean energy, energy & AI, future mobility, environment, marine, and meteorology at BEXCO Halls 1-2.
This simultaneous hosting of multiple events will provide an exceptional and meaningful opportunity for key policymakers and industry leaders around the world to collaborate, create synergies, and engage in practical, action-oriented discussions.
We look forward to your interest and participation in WCE 2026.
