On June 21, 2025, the 'NEXUS 2140 AI·Web3·ECOM GLOBAL EXPO' grandly opened at the KINTEX International Exhibition Center in Goyang, Korea. As the world's first large-scale technology expo to achieve deep integration of AI, Web3, and cross-border e-commerce, NEXUS 2140 focuses on the core concept of 'linking future industries, empowering global innovation,' concentrating on technological evolution, business transformation, and international cooperation, attracting government officials, investment institutions, industry leaders, and technological pioneers from various countries around the world to Goyang to discuss new technological paradigms and value boundaries in the digital age.
This expo is hosted by NEXUS 2140, co-organized by KIC and OneEarthArtpia, and is powered by partners such as FEC (Crown Sponsor), Jucoin (Top Sponsor), and MINIDOGE (Star Sponsor). This not only reflects Korea's international openness as a digital hub in East Asia but also conveys a clear message that technology has become the core entry point for global cooperation, and the linkage between government and industry is shifting from 'regulation and promotion' to 'co-building and co-creation.' NEXUS 2140 is based on this era trend, committed to building a multilateral technological collaboration platform with a global perspective, implementation capability, and industry depth.
In the context of the global reconstruction of the digital industrial chain and the rising awareness of technological sovereignty, NEXUS 2140 unfolds multiple rounds of high-density dialogue and concentrated displays around AI-driven business intelligence, Web3 ecological reshaping, and innovative applications of cross-border e-commerce, promoting the transformation of technological achievements from 'boundary innovation' to 'system landing,' accelerating the integration of digital technology into the real economy, and injecting new momentum to build a more resilient and synergistic global industrial pattern in the digital age.
Upon entering the venue, one can feel the vibrant atmosphere. The lineup of guests for this expo is magnificent, with government officials from various countries, leading institutional investors, and industry pioneers gathering at the site. They have long been deeply involved in their respective fields, possessing keen insights and forward-looking judgments, making them important voices in leading industry trends. In the subsequent rounds of sharing, guests engaged in discussions around AI, Web3, and cross-border e-commerce, generously sharing their knowledge. Some drew on frontline practical experience to analyze market evolution and corporate strategy; others, with an international perspective, insightfully discussed technological trends and their reshaping effects on the macroeconomy and industrial structure; and some guests deconstructed how AI-generated content and blockchain applications empower business practices from the angles of technological innovation and model evolution. Their speeches were both profound and accessible, creating an inspiring knowledge feast for the audience, helping attendees broaden their horizons and refresh their perceptions, as they seek new paths for adaptation and breakthrough in an increasingly complex global environment.

NEXUS 2140 Chairman Fardi Wang took the stage to deliver the opening speech. He first warmly welcomed and sincerely thanked the government representatives, partner institutions, industry leaders, and ecological partners from various countries who traveled from afar. He mentioned that NEXUS 2140 is not only a concentrated display of technology and business but also a deep dialogue about future directions. 'At this moment when the three major forces of AI, Web3, and cross-border e-commerce intersect, we have ushered in an era belonging to the “systemic leapfroggers.”'
He particularly emphasized that Korea is a strategically symbolic starting point. It not only boasts highly developed digital infrastructure and policy inclusiveness but also represents Asia's rising innovative energy in global technology competition. Choosing Goyang as the first stop of NEXUS 2140 is not only the starting point of a grand event but also a declaration of determination.
In his speech, Fardi Wang also expressed sincere gratitude to all the organizers, co-organizers, and partners who dedicated themselves to NEXUS 2140. He pointed out that a true global platform is not outputted from a single headquarters but is created collectively by every node. It is because of you that global connections can be realized, and innovation is within reach.
He encouraged every guest present to let go of hesitation, dare to make mistakes, and boldly step onto the stage at this historical intersection of AI and Web3 reshaping the world. He emphasized that AI is not cold, lifeless code; it will ultimately reconstruct our modes of production and logic of existence through emotion, decision-making, and creativity; Web3 is not a bubble, but a deep restructuring of order and trust. Don’t be a bystander of the technological wave; be a co-builder of the rules; don’t wait for the wind, be the direction of the wind.
Fardi Wang concluded by stating that he hopes every participant can find their own entrance to the future at NEXUS 2140. What we are witnessing together is not just the opening of an expo but a gathering of the spirit of the era. Amid ongoing applause, the opening ceremony reached its climax, officially marking the beginning of the NEXUS 2140 Global Expo.

The on-site negotiation area frequently witnessed in-depth exchanges between capital parties and project parties, fully showcasing the efficient docking of technological implementation and business demands.
When confidence and diversity become the keywords of the stage, the 'Ms. Bitcoin Beauty Pageant' officially debuts at the NEXUS 2140 Global Expo. As the world's first on-chain beauty contest based on blockchain voting mechanisms, this event quickly became one of the most talked-about and culturally dynamic highlights of this expo.
Participants from various countries and regions took the stage with authentic, diverse, and confident images, breaking traditional aesthetic boundaries and extending the concept of 'decentralization' to the dimensions of aesthetic expression and cultural identity. They are not only the protagonists on the beauty pageant stage but also explorers representing the new generation of female power in the context of Web3.
This competition adopts a transparent on-chain voting mechanism, with public votes and a professional jury each accounting for 50% of the weight, ensuring openness and fairness while injecting governance logic of technological trust and community participation. The selection process not only focuses on external appearance and stage performance but also emphasizes expressiveness, project understanding, and cultural presentation, aiming to shape a new spokesperson for Web3 with global influence and depth of thought.
The event site is a mix of light and shadow, with a vibrant atmosphere, and multiple international models present, showcasing a visual feast that integrates technology, culture, and community. The subsequent Ms. Bitcoin × Fireverse Night was brilliantly staged at ARZU, a high-end venue in Cheongdam, Seoul, where music, performances, and immersive interactions progressively brought the cultural atmosphere of this expo to a climax.
The Ms. Bitcoin competition is not just an exploration of 'beauty' but a release of values. Here, beauty is no longer defined but recognized; voices are no longer represented but actively expressed. In the world of Web3, identity is not limited, the stage is not framed, and every form of genuine existence is the strongest annotation for the future.
The in-depth exchanges and collisions of ideas on the first day of this expo not only gathered cutting-edge technologies and diverse industrial wisdom from around the world but also established a cooperative consensus across fields and borders among the participating parties. These consensuses and connections are becoming an important cornerstone driving future cooperation. Representatives at the conference expressed that they would take this expo as an opportunity to further strengthen collaborative innovation and promote the integration and sustainable development of emerging technologies such as AI, Web3, and cross-border e-commerce globally. Under the dual drives of the tide of the times and technological transformation, enterprises and developers will continue to leverage their respective advantages, daring to explore, collaboratively evolve, and constantly break through technological boundaries and market bottlenecks. At the same time, they will also pay more attention to social responsibility and ecological value, building a more open, just, and diverse industrial structure.
Looking to the future, NEXUS 2140 will continue to serve as an important intersection of global innovative forces, connecting ideas, inspiring change, and incubating value. We believe that with joint efforts from multiple parties, the global digital economy will welcome stronger and more far-reaching development momentum, jointly creating a more inclusive, prosperous, and interconnected future.
The excitement does not stop here; the upcoming schedule of NEXUS 2140 will continue to present rich and diverse content, anticipating more collisions of ideas and sparks of collaboration, leading AI, Web3, and cross-border e-commerce into new heights.
