The Korea Gas Corporation (KOGAS) announced on November 4 that it is operating the “Natural Gas Industry Mutual Growth Pavilion” at the 2025 Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference (ADIPEC), held in the United Arab Emirates from November 3 to 6. The initiative aims to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in entering the Middle Eastern energy market.

ADIPEC is the largest oil and gas exhibition and conference in the Middle East, featuring 2,250 energy-related companies and attracting around 200,000 visitors from 54 countries.

KOGAS plans to leverage its global brand power to conduct joint marketing activities with participating SMEs, maximizing their export opportunities at the international event, where major global energy companies gather.

To achieve this, KOGAS established a dedicated public relations pavilion to help SMEs with outstanding technologies promote their products and services, particularly those facing challenges in overseas market development due to limited global recognition.

A total of 13 companies, including Dongsan Valve Co., Ltd., participated in this year’s pavilion. The exhibitors produce key natural gas equipment such as ball valves, gas meters, and gas and flame detectors.

KOGAS has consistently supported the global expansion of SMEs by operating joint booths at various international exhibitions. This year’s pavilion is seen as a model of public-private collaboration, with participation from the Korea Foundation for Cooperation of Large & Small Business, Rural Affairs (KOFCA) under the Ministry of SMEs and Startups.

KOGAS expects the initiative will enhance the credibility of Korean SMEs among global customers and serve as a springboard for overcoming barriers to entry in the global energy market.
