Cordence Energy Transition Summit
Back from the Cordence Energy Transition Summit in Seoul — an inspiring and energizing experience!
A big THANK YOU to our wonderful hosts in Korea, especially Youngsang Kwon and the Key To Way team, for their warm hospitality, flawless coordination, and deep engagement throughout the summit.
Over two dynamic days, we explored five key deep dive topics shaping the future of energy:
🔹 Renewable & Low-Carbon Energies — including nuclear and biomethane
🔹 AI & Digital Transformation — unlocking new service models for utilities
🔹 Hydrogen Economy — focused on industrial use cases and global supply chains
🔹 Circular Economy & Sustainable Infrastructure — scalable models for resource efficiency
🔹 Grid Infrastructure & Renewable Integration — tackling modernization and congestion
We also welcomed PEMANDU Associates and Skha as participants from our newest members in the Cordence Worldwide family and celebrated our 20th anniversary — a milestone in global collaboration.
Beyond the agenda, we had a fantastic time soaking in the culture, cuisine, and energy of Seoul.
This summit is part of our ongoing commitment to deliver real value to our clients, helping them leverage the global expertise of the Cordence Worldwide partnership to drive impact and innovation.
Looking forward to building on the ideas we sparked together!
