Be Connected, Be Convergent, Be-CON

The maritime security landscape and the maritime technology industry are evolving rapidly, and the convergence of maritime technology and the defense industry is accelerating in this era of hyper-connectivity. Amid these changes, rather than a single company developing and operating all technologies, it is becoming increasingly important for companies and institutions with specialized expertise in each field to collaborate and build a unified system and industrial ecosystem.



Be-CON is a global conference organized to bring together key stakeholders in the maritime technology and defense industries to share technical insights and explore opportunities for industrial collaboration. This conference brings together representatives from the Navy, defense companies, shipyards, marine technology firms, research institutions, and policymakers to discuss changes in the future maritime security environment and the direction of maritime defense technology development, and to explore ways to collaborate on building a sustainable ecosystem for the K-defense and marine technology industries.


Furthermore, Be-CON serves as a bridge to expand exchanges between domestic maritime technology and defense industry companies and overseas technology firms, and to build a global industrial cooperation network. It aims to provide a platform for constructive cooperation and the exchange of insights to strengthen South Korea’s maritime security capabilities and foster the development of the future maritime technology industry.

A place where experts in the maritime technology and defense industries connect, 

where industry and technology converge, and where new possibilities for cooperation begin.


We look forward to shaping that future together at Be-CON 2026.
