Join us during San Francisco Climate Week for a focused session on why Korea has become one of the most effective global platforms to pilot, validate, & scale climate technologies.
Co-hosted by Mind the Bridge, this track showcases how Korea's unique combination of public funding, corporate demand, & testbed infrastructure is unlocking faster & more capital-efficient innovation cycles.
As global corporates struggle to move from pilot to deployment, Korea is emerging as a strategic gateway to run fully-funded PoCs, accelerate validation, & de-risk scaling.
This session brings together public institutions, startups, & global corporates to share how to navigate, & win, in this ecosystem.
For corporates: Learn how to leverage Korea's innovation infrastructure to run faster, lower-cost PoCs & accelerate deployment with leading technology providers.
For startups: Understand how to access funding, testbeds, & corporate partners in Korea to scale internationally.
For investors & ecosystem builders: Gain insight into one of the most effective global environments for industrial innovation & cross-border collaboration.
This event is part of the Mind the Bridge Silicon Valley Summit 2026.
