Organizers explained that the number of general public visitors in Korea will exceed 10,000, the largest ever.
In addition, 500 papers submitted from more than 30 countries will be presented this time, and an academic conference will be held with 1,500 scholars and experts from more than 40 countries.
The 'Electric Vehicle Tech Summit' will also be held with keynote lectures and special sessions by Hyundai Motor Executive Director Han Dong-hee and LG Science Park President Park Il-pyeong.
Hyundai Mobis will also participate in the event to reveal research results in a wide range of fields, including driving systems, which are the core of electric vehicles, as well as batteries, safety parts, system platforms, and vehicle infotainment.
