This exchange meeting aims to strengthen the technological competitiveness of companies in Gyeongnam and Yangsan, and to discuss various support measures for the demonstration and commercialization of eco-friendly hybrid propulsion systems.

The event will be attended by officials from Gyeongnam Province and Yangsan City, representatives from related industry, academia, and research institutes, as well as a large number of executives and employees from companies based in Gyeongnam and Yangsan. Participants plan to engage in in-depth discussions on the construction of an onshore demonstration base for eco-friendly ship hybrid propulsion systems and support measures for local companies through the Eco-friendly Hybrid Technology Center. Through these efforts, it is expected to contribute to revitalizing the local economy and securing competitiveness in the global eco-friendly ship market.

The technology exchange meeting will provide an opportunity to share the latest trends and technical challenges of eco-friendly ship propulsion systems, as well as to explore recent research trends and technological cooperation measures. The program will begin with a presentation on eco-friendly ship technology trends by Jeon Hyunbuki, Director of ABS Korea, followed by various sessions on KOMERI’s support for mechanical, electrical, and electronic engineering and standardization.

In particular, the meeting will seek to help companies in Gyeongnam and Yangsan overcome technical crises through simulation-based equipment design reviews, and to discuss innovative ideas for the practical application and commercialization of eco-friendly ship technologies.

An official from Yangsan City stated, “Eco-friendly technology is not an option but a necessity for the sustainable development of the shipbuilding and marine industries. This exchange meeting will be an important opportunity to share the latest technologies and information in the field of eco-friendly hybrid propulsion systems. We hope that many companies from Gyeongnam and Yangsan will attend this event, stay up-to-date with the latest technology trends, and actively utilize related support programs to further strengthen their competitiveness.”
