Building a Public-Private 'One Team' for Overseas Green Industry Expansion... Alliance Expands to Energy and Plant Sectors

The government has expanded its public-private cooperation framework to support the overseas expansion of green industries, launching an initiative to target the global market.

On April 20, at Sono Calm Hotel in Yeosu, Jeonnam, the Ministry of Climate Energy and Environment held the "Expanded Agreement Ceremony and Roundtable for the Green Industry Alliance," officially launching the alliance with significantly increased participation from both the public and private sectors.

With this agreement, 26 new organizations—including 14 public agencies and 12 private companies—have joined the alliance, which previously centered around 74 institutions. As a result, the alliance has expanded from focusing solely on the environment sector to becoming a comprehensive government-private integrated platform encompassing all areas of green industries, including energy, plant engineering, and power grids.

In the public sector, organizations such as Korea Electric Power Corporation and Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency will participate and take on the role of supporting overseas expansion. In the private sector, major corporations such as Samsung Heavy Industries, Hanwha Solutions, HD Hyundai Electric, LS ELECTRIC, LX International, and Ecopro HN, along with mid-sized and small companies, will also participate.

The expanded alliance will serve as a "strategic order support platform," assisting with every stage of overseas projects—from identifying opportunities and building cooperative networks to securing contracts and post-contract management. The government plans to increase its global market share by pursuing package deals that combine various industries, such as renewable energy and power grids.

During the roundtable held after the agreement ceremony, issues faced by companies—such as delays in licensing and difficulties in securing financing—were reviewed, and government-level support measures were discussed. In particular, the government plans to strengthen government-to-government (G2G) cooperation to respond to uncertainties in the Middle East and to promote joint bidding activities in anticipation of future reconstruction demand. Customized support, such as expanding financial guarantees for small and medium-sized enterprises, will also be provided in parallel.

Since its launch in 2023, the Green Industry Alliance has dispatched a total of 45 order support teams to 22 countries and, with government support, achieved contract results of KRW 20.5 trillion in 2023, KRW 22.7 trillion in 2024, and KRW 21.4 trillion in 2025.

Kim Sungwhan, Minister of Climate, stated, "The Green Industry Alliance will serve as a bridge connecting our companies with the global market," adding, "The public and private sectors will join forces to take the lead in the global green transition."
