Recruitment of Participating Companies for 22 Trillion Won-Scale 'Green Industry Council'

The Ministry of Environment (Minister Han Hwa-jin) announced on the 28th that it will expand recruitment of companies participating in the Green Industry Alliance.

This expanded recruitment was prepared to reflect the demand of companies wishing to participate and to broaden the scope of the public-private cooperation system in order to achieve sustainable order acquisition and export results.

The Green Industry Alliance was launched in January last year with 33 organizations including green industry companies and export policy financial institutions to activate the overseas expansion of the green industry through public-private collaboration. Throughout last year, 101 one-on-one strategic meetings were held with companies, providing tailored support for each business unit through public-private cooperation.

The Ministry of Environment supports overseas orders and exports by inspecting difficulties for each overseas project of companies through the Green Industry Alliance and establishing customized strategies. Over the past year, the ministry dispatched the Green Industry Order Support Team 25 times to 17 countries overseas, creating order and export effects worth KRW 20.4966 trillion as of last year, including green hydrogen, seawater desalination, and waste-to-energy facilities.

The recruitment period is from the 29th of this month to the 8th of next month. The recruitment announcement can be found on the Ministry of Environment’s website, and domestic green industry companies and institutions engaged in overseas green business order and export projects can apply via email.

This year, the Ministry of Environment plans to operate one-on-one strategic meetings with companies to derive customized support plans and establish a foundation for continuous performance creation.

Lee Chang-heum, Director of the Climate Carbon Policy Office at the Ministry of Environment, stated, "This year as well, the public and private sectors will pioneer overseas markets centered on the Green Industry Alliance," adding, "We have set a challenging goal of KRW 22 trillion in green industry orders and export effects, and we will do our best to provide support to achieve this."
