Engaging with Korea’s Nuclear Industry at INEX 2026

At the International Nuclear Expo (INEX 2026) in Busan, South Korea this past April, the Apave Group mobilized its global and local nuclear teams to bridge the gap for Asian manufacturers eyeing European markets. By sharing deep regulatory insights, Apave empowered Korean companies to secure complex power plant projects while ensuring full compliance with stringent international safety standards.

A Strategic Nuclear Event

INEX 2026 reinforced its status as South Korea’s premier nuclear exhibition, drawing 100 industry leaders together to showcase the sector's global momentum. Apave leveraged this momentum, uniting its local and international experts to help industry professionals navigate the complexities of rigorous operational compliance. In an industry defined by safety, Apave’s experts provided the critical insights necessary for professionals to navigate increasingly complex supply chains - reinforcing the Group’s role as a trusted partner in the global energy transition.

Mastering Global Regulations

Regulatory compliance remains a critical barrier for entry for nuclear equipment exporters. At INEX 2026, Apave experts focused on mandatory certifications for international markets, including ASME code inspections for pressure equipment and KEPIC standards for local compliance. The team also highlighted CE marking, a prerequisite for entering the European single market. This technical and legal guidance drastically reduces non-compliance risks and project delays. Apave ensures that manufactured components safely meet strict cross-border criteria.

Navigating European Standards

A key highlight of the event was Apave's technical seminar, "Regulatory Requirements for NPPs in Europe." This session offered a comprehensive overview of nuclear safety frameworks for both new builds and plant extensions. By removing technical ambiguity, Apave’s presentation transformed intricate compliance requirements into clear, actionable roadmaps for Korean developers eyeing future international projects.

A Trusted Partner for Growth

The event fostered high-level business connections with Asian suppliers aiming for European contracts. Apave serves as the strategic bridge between regional innovations and strict European safety standards required for modern energy projects. These partnerships further solidify Apave's leading position within the low-carbon energy market, driving the global transition toward sustainable power.
