It was originally scheduled to be held in March before the world was overwhelmed by the global COVID-19 pandemic.
The show will be sponsored by local automakers such as Hyundai Motor Group which itself is one of the leading hydrogen fuel cell vehicle manufacturers worldwide.
A KAMA official said the "exhibition will help advance the South Korean government's "hydrogen economy road map" which aims to foster hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles and other hydrogen related businesses as drivers of future economic growth.
This week, Hyundai said it would build hydrogen refueling facilities at Incheon International Airport, the country's main international gateway, in collaboration with France's Air Liquide.
Once construction is completed by March 2021, Hyundai will provide hydrogen fuel cell powered airport service buses.
