FIX 2025 Daegu Comprehensive Exhibition Overview
FIX 2025 (Factory Innovation eXpo) is Korea's leading comprehensive industrial exhibition, held at EXCO in Daegu. Three shows — DIFA (Daegu International Fashion Fair), ICTE (International ICT Convergence Exhibition), and ROBEX (Robot Exhibition) — are held simultaneously, functioning as a complex industrial platform spanning fashion, information and communications technology, and robotics and automation. The ability to explore cross-industry convergence opportunities in a single venue is FIX 2025's most distinctive advantage.
For Bangladesh buyers, FIX 2025 is a strategic exhibition where Korean technologies needed for local industrial upgrading — garment manufacturing automation, ICT infrastructure solutions, and industrial robotics — can be reviewed and compared in one place. In particular, given Bangladesh's digital transformation of the RMG (Ready-Made Garments) industry, cross-visiting DIFA and ROBEX delivers high business value.
The Three Exhibition Structure and Core Fields
FIX 2025 has DIFA, ICTE, and ROBEX each operating independent exhibition zones while providing joint networking programs and integrated buyer matching services. Below is an analysis of each exhibition's core field and its relevance to Bangladesh buyers.
