The event plans to host about 100 attendees, including Mayor Yoon Byung-tae of Naju City, Kim Tae-gyun, Head of KEPCO’s Technology Innovation Headquarters, Koo Ja-kyun, Chairman of the Korea Smart Grid Association, and Kang Sang-gu, Director of the Energy Industry Bureau of Jeollanam-do.
The investment attraction roadshow is organized alongside the 14th ‘Korea Smart Grid Expo 2024’ to more actively support investment attraction for Naju Energy Valley and its companies.
On the first day, the 3rd, the schedule will begin with Mayor Yoon Byung-tae introducing Naju’s investment environment, followed by the signing of an MOU for Energy Valley investment attraction, a joint declaration for mutual development among related Energy Valley organizations, explanations of the investment environment by Naju City and KEPCO Energy Valley, and IR pitching presentations by 10 companies for investment attraction demo day.
IR (investor relations) refers to companies conducting corporate presentations and promotional activities to attract investment.
On the second day, Professor Moon Seung-il of Korea Energy Engineering University will chair a seminar and panel discussion on MVDC (Medium Voltage Direct Current distribution), a next-generation power grid technology.
Additionally, Naju City plans to operate the Naju Energy Valley joint promotional hall and 20 booths for 11 local companies in the Energy Valley corporate promotional hall over the three days to promote and provide investment attraction consultations and consulting.
A Naju City official said, “We will actively share Naju’s unique investment appeal through the Energy Valley joint promotional hall,” and added, “We hope for much interest and participation in this investment attraction consulting for the continuous growth of energy-related companies.”
Meanwhile, Naju City held the 2023 Seoul Metropolitan Area Investment Attraction Roadshow last year, achieving investment attraction results worth 30 billion KRW from four energy companies.
