Climate Tech
& Startup
기후기술과 스타트업

All activities for human survival and convenient life emit greenhouse gases. As a result, climate change has become visible, and in order to solve it, the entire industrial system in which human civilization is standing is required to change.
All industries, without any exception, need to take action in response. In parallel with the decarbonization of existing energy, manufacturing, agrifood, and transportation systems, capital markets will also have to be reorganized by the ‘carbon economy’ principle.
Market opportunities to address climate change are as massive as the problem itself and are being created in a very urgent matter.
In order to ensure the sustainability of mankind and the global environment, much more diverse technologies need to be adopted more rapidly,
and cross-disciplinary collaboration is required. This requires a fostering of many more researchers and scientists who recognize climate change as a significant problem and opportunity to be addressed immediately.
