Hogreen Air Co., Ltd. (CEO Sung-ho Hong), a hydrogen-specialized company, announced on the 27th that it will showcase its innovative liquid hydrogen drone at the
“K-Culture Advanced Future Industry Pavilion,” held in conjunction with the 2025 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders’ Meeting.
The “K-Culture Advanced Future Industry Pavilion” has been operating for about one month, from October 20 to November 22,
at the newly constructed APEC Economic Exhibition Hall located within Gyeongju Expo Grand Park.
The exhibition consists of several sections, including the K-Culture Advanced Future Industry Pavilion, Korean Industrial History Hall,
Gyeongbuk Enterprise Hall, and K-Tech Showcase. It is organized around three key themes representing Korea’s core future industries:
Mobility & Secondary Batteries, Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, and Semiconductors.
Hogreen Air is participating as a key partner in the Mobility Pavilion, themed “Mobility: The Engine of Prosperity.”
The company has set up an exhibition booth in the “Next-Generation Hydrogen Fuel” zone, where it is displaying a full-scale model of its flagship liquid hydrogen drone.
Only two companies—Hyundai Motor Company and Hogreen Air—are exhibiting products in the Mobility Pavilion.
Notably, Hogreen Air is the only company in Korea specializing in liquid hydrogen drones to present its technology directly to world leaders and economic delegations from various countries.
Hogreen Air’s liquid hydrogen drone is a next-generation model that overcomes the limitations of conventional battery-powered drones.
Equipped with a high-efficiency fuel cell system, it enables long-endurance flight.
To help visitors better understand the technology, the exhibition features graphic panels illustrating the technological evolution from battery drones to gaseous hydrogen drones and finally to liquid hydrogen drones.
In addition, the company is displaying its hydrogen fuel cell power pack, the drone’s core power source, to actively promote the principles and advantages of hydrogen energy technology.
Through this exhibition, Hogreen Air plans to leverage the APEC Leaders’ Meeting as a platform for creating new business opportunities.
CEO Sung-ho Hong stated,
“We are actively expanding the hydrogen ecosystem by being the first in Korea to introduce hydrogen fuel cells to the drone market,” adding,
“Our staff are stationed at the exhibition booth to engage in active marketing consultations and promotional activities with both domestic and international buyers, as well as APEC-related officials.”
