Milestones

Since its establishment in December 2019, the German-Korean Energy Partnership has gained strong momentum. During high-level and working group meetings, representatives from both partner ministries jointly shaped the partnership’s design and defined its focal topics. Multi-stakeholder events such as the Korean-German Energy Day enabled experts from politics, business and academia to engage in a fruitful exchange on solutions for a successful energy transition.
