The partnership was sparked by the soaring global power equipment market, driven by the proliferation of AI-driven data centers. The two entities will exchange sector-specific overseas market insights and jointly identify promising countries for expansion. They also intend to identify top-notch SMEs and mid-sized firms to aid their joint overseas endeavors, establishing a consistent communication channel for ongoing collaborative tasks. The Korea Power Exchange plans to give special attention to Honam region's small and medium-sized power and energy companies. Moreover, it aims to promote a joint export model, incorporating the localized Korean Energy Management System (K-EMS) in collaboration with KOTRA's overseas trade centers. The initial practical step of this partnership will commence in Southeast Asia. To this end, the two organizations agreed to dispatch a Laos Power Equipment Trade Mission in November 9-11, 2026. The mission, comprising SMEs from power equipment and solutions sectors, will attend a seminar on local market entry strategies and engage in one-on-one export consultations with approximately 30 local institutions and buyers in Laos.
