The event began with opening remarks by James Kim, AMCHAM Chairman and CEO, who underscored the tremendous potential of U.S.-Korea energy collaboration in driving both security and innovation. “Energy is emerging as one of the most strategic pillars of U.S.-Korea cooperation,” he said. “Together, the U.S. and Korea have a unique opportunity to lead the world in delivering clean, secure, and sustainable energy solutions that will power the future.”
The event featured sessions on “Energy Policy Strategy and Vision in Korea, “The U.S. Leadership in Global Energy Policy”, and presentations highlighting the projects and expertise of U.S.-based companies in Korea to strength U.S.-Korea energy cooperation. A follow-up panel discussion explored key opportunities in supply chain stability, energy security, and LNG collaboration between the two countries.

In the offshore wind session, one of the key areas of U.S.-Korea energy cooperation, Pacifico Energy Korea spotlighted Korea’s offshore wind momentum and emphasized the importance of a domestic supply chain for energy security in the Asia-Pacific region. As the Representative Director of Pacifico Energy Korea — the first U.S. energy company to enter Korea’s offshore wind market — Seung-Ho Choe delivered his speech titled “The Future of Offshore Wind: The Need for Supply Chain and Energy Security Collaboration.”
Seung-Ho Choe, the Representative Director of Pacifico Energy Korea said, “Energy security is a crucial part for both Korean and U.S. firms given its impact on the clean energy supply chain in the Asia-Pacific region. It becomes imperative for Korean and U.S. companies to continue close collaboration to ensure supply chain stability and contribute to promoting the local supply chain.”
He added, “Korea has world-class manufacturing and industrial base; Korea has a great potential to become a hub of offshore wind supply chain in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. It will drive Korean and U.S. companies including Pacifico Energy to provide unyielding support so that Korean suppliers can expand their market presence in the Asia-Pacific offshore wind market.”
The “Evolving Energy Forum: Opportunities in the Korea-U.S. Partnership” was designed to strengthen U.S.-Korea energy cooperation and promote sustainable growth in the energy sector. This forum holds particular significance as it fosters public-private dialogue between Korea and the United States on key energy-related issues.
