They learned about GTC-K support for Korea’s national plans for eco-friendly energy towns, as well as national strategies for climate response core technology, transferring microgrid technology to developing countries. They were also introduced to Korean green tech small and medium enterprises including Forcebel which manages municipal waste, Wooin which is now selling its energy efficient Vacuum Steam Boiler in Mongolia, and CM Partner which has produced an electric solar powered hybrid bike.
