In a recent ‘Fortune 500 Open Innovation Roundtable,’ the Korea International Trade Association (KITA) and the Korea Development Bank (KDB) engaged in discussions with prominent companies including BP, Ford, and HP to explore innovation in the fields of hydrogen and nuclear power.

The event, held at the Trade Tower in Samseong-dong, Seoul, brought together executives from nine global companies, along with KITA’s Vice President Jeong Man-ki and KDB’s Vice President Lee Jun-seong.

During the roundtable, BP, a leading energy company, expressed its anticipation of promising prospects in hydrogen, renewable energy, biofuels, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure industries. Sofia Nadur, a partner at BP, highlighted the company’s shift towards becoming an integrated energy company and emphasized their substantial investment of approximately $50 billion in electric vehicles by 2026.

Ford, a renowned automobile manufacturer, echoed the focus on electric vehicles, outlining their plans for substantial investments in the same domain. Recognizing the growing demand for sustainable transportation solutions, Ford’s commitment aligns with the global transition towards greener mobility.

The discussions also touched upon nuclear power development, with Fortum, a leading clean energy company, actively investing in both small module reactors (SMRs) and large-scale nuclear power plants. By diversifying their energy portfolio, Fortum aims to address the world’s energy needs while minimizing environmental impact.

Vice Chairman Jeong Man-ki emphasized the significance of the roundtable, stating that it confirmed the attention of Fortune 500 companies undergoing an industrial transition towards hydrogen and nuclear power as future energy sources. The discussions highlighted the importance of open innovation and glocalization as strategies for sustainable growth.

The convergence of global industry leaders in this roundtable signifies the growing recognition of hydrogen and nuclear power as crucial components of the world’s future energy mix. As nations strive to achieve ambitious climate goals, these discussions pave the way for collaboration and advancements in clean energy technologies.

While the roundtable sets an optimistic tone for the future, challenges lie ahead. The widespread adoption of hydrogen and nuclear power will require substantial investments, regulatory frameworks, and technological advancements. However, the collective efforts and commitment demonstrated by these influential companies and organizations signify a significant step towards a more sustainable and energy-diverse future.
