Showcasing Climate Tech Solutions to a worldwide Audience

The Gyeonggi-do Climate Tech Exhibition recently concluded, marking a significant step in promoting innovative climate technologies developed by South korean companies on a global scale. The event, designed to facilitate international expansion for these businesses, took place from April 15th to 16th.

International collaboration and Participation

Hosted in Gyeonggi-do for the first time, the exhibition centered around the theme of climate technology and was strategically aligned with the World Local Government Climate General Assembly. This synergy attracted over 4,200 participants from 82 cities across 29 countries, including representatives from the United States, Australia, and india, fostering a diverse and collaborative environment.

Comprehensive Support Programs for Climate Tech Companies

beyond the central technology showcases featuring 75 climate tech companies, the exhibition offered a suite of seven support programs aimed at driving tangible results. These included:

• Global curation Tour: Guided tours and interpretation services for key international guests.
• Global Star Venture Challenge: A competition to identify and support promising climate tech startups.
• Startup 815 IR (Corporate Briefing Session): A dedicated investment program connecting startups with potential investors.
• Live Booth Interviews: Opportunities for companies to present their technologies to a wider audience.
• Public Procurement Market Entry Consulting: Guidance on navigating public procurement processes.
• Climate Tech Seminar (ON): Informative seminars on various aspects of climate technology.

global Curation Tour: Connecting Leaders with Cutting-Edge Technology

The global Curation tour provided a curated experience for 50 distinguished guests attending the World Local Government Climate General Assembly. This included high-profile figures such as the Secretary General of ICLEI (Local governments for Sustainability) and the Chairman of the Green Climate Fund, offering them in-depth insights into core technologies and personalized interpretation services.

Recognizing and Supporting Emerging Leaders in Climate Tech

The Global Star Venture Challenge recognized five outstanding companies for their innovative solutions. Among the winners were:

• Robot vertical Farm System
• Energy Sign Corporation (developer of rocker electric power controls for improved aviation)
• Deep Plant

Gyeonggi-do has pledged to support these selected companies in gaining international recognition and achieving success on the global stage. This support is crucial, as access to funding and international markets are often cited as major hurdles for climate tech startups, according to a recent report by the Climate Tech Venture Capital Alliance.

Startup 815 IR: Fueling Investment in Climate Tech Innovation

The ‘Startup 815 IR’ program, a dedicated investment initiative for startups, featured 10 promising climate tech startups. This program provided a platform for these companies to pitch their ideas and attract investment, contributing to the growth and advancement of the climate tech sector.

The future of Climate Tech in Gyeonggi-do

the success of the 2025 Gyeonggi-do Climate tech Exhibition underscores the region’s commitment to fostering innovation and collaboration in the fight against climate change. By providing a platform for companies to showcase their technologies and connect with international partners, Gyeonggi-do is playing a vital role in accelerating the development and deployment of climate tech solutions worldwide.

As global investment in climate tech continues to rise – reaching $70.1 billion in 2022, according to BloombergNEF – events like the Gyeonggi-do climate Tech Exhibition are becoming increasingly crucial in driving innovation and attracting capital to this critical sector.

Momentum Builds for Climate Tech Investment

The burgeoning field of climate technology is witnessing a surge in investment interest, notably following the recent Climate Tech Seminar ON held in Gyeonggi province. Several companies that underwent initial screenings have secured a combined 20 follow-up opportunities, signaling a robust appetite for climate-focused ventures.

Seminar highlights Global Climate Tech Strategies

The climate Tech Seminar ON served as a crucial platform for discussing global policies and investment strategies within the climate tech sector.Key topics included Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) trends, the role of public finance, collaborative climate tech investment models, and effective strategies for navigating global carbon regulations. These discussions are vital as companies grapple with increasingly stringent environmental standards worldwide. For example, the EU’s carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), set to fully launch in 2026, will substantially impact businesses exporting to Europe, making climate tech solutions even more critical.

Gyeonggi Province to Host Major Climate Tech Conference

Building on the momentum, Gyeonggi Province is set to host a major climate tech conference in September. According to Cha Sung-soo, director of the Climate Environment energy Bureau, the conference will delve into global investment trends, technological advancements, and policy directions relevant to climate tech companies. This event aims to foster collaboration and drive further innovation in the sector.
