A delegation of leading vendors from the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) and Korea Electrical Manufacturers’ Cooperative (KEMC) was in Kuala Lumpur last October seeking business partnership with Malaysian companies. Business matching meetings and a technical forum themed “Green Growth with Smart Grid” were held on 17th October 2011 at Berjaya Times Square.

The event was organised by KEPCO & KEMC and was supported by Malaysia-Korea Technology Center (MYKOR), Malaysian Industry- Government Group for High Technology (MIGHT), TNB and TEEAM. The Korean delegation hoped to share their experiences and knowledge with the local business community in the E&E sector while seeking business opportunities.

TEEAM President, Engr Fu Wing Hoong led a TEEAM delegation to the opening ceremony and thereafter members attended business matching meetings with the Koreans. TEEAM hoped that the event will establish smart partnerships between members of TEEAM and KEPCO & KEMC.

At the opening ceremony, KEMC and TEEAM signed an MOU to jointly promote business cooperation between members of both organisations. KEMC and TEEAM hope to exchange market information on the E&E industry between Korea and Malaysia.

Some 127 one-to-one business matching meetings were organised between the local business entrepreneurs and the twenty Korean companies.
