Specifically, five sessions will be held on ▲secondary batteries ▲battery thermal runaway prevention technology ▲geological industry and technology ▲carbon materials ▲open innovation to discuss future energy strategies and directions for battery technology development. Each session will be conducted in the form of group discussions and expert presentations, focusing on the direction of discussions. Global talents who will lead future energy businesses will also be directly discovered.

Marking its third year, this year's forum focuses on the battery business centered on SK On. Last year's forum involved discussions at the group-wide level on expanding SK Innovation's green portfolio. However, in line with the group's atmosphere of intensive reform, including current organizational restructuring, the company explained that this forum will be held on a smaller scale, focusing on the battery business.

An SK Innovation official said, "We will accumulate the know-how and achievements of the SK Innovation Global Forum to enhance the execution capabilities of core businesses of SK Innovation affiliates, such as batteries and overseas resource development."
