The focus of the 21st century global energy era is “sustainable energy.” In order to respond to the global pursuit of scientific and technological knowledge building on sustainable energy, as well as obtaining information on emerging energy sources, it is necessary to stay ahead of the trends of the times. We definitely need to secure and manage sustainable energies, engage in energy diplomacy and security, develop clean energy sources, and address climate change agreements. In essence, preparation for the long-term and specific energy era necessitates energy management.

  For effective energy management, we must secure energy leaders who can establish and implement strategies. These energy leaders should possess a fundamental understanding of energy technologies and information. They should also have insights into the social and cultural aspects, business environments, and economic changes that are embedded within the energy industry. Predictive insights to anticipate future developments and trends are also essential. Moreover, interdisciplinary thinking and innovative leadership skills can also be considered crucial for navigating complex interrelationships with diverse perspectives and converging them into a consensus for coexistence, primarily focusing on energy.

  In partnership of Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), SNU created the optimal platform called the “SNU–KEPCO Energy CEO Program” to lead and nurture global energy leaders who can anticipate and drive the megatrends in the international energy industry while leading the domestic energy sector.

  The program aims to lead a creative and innovative era of global energy management and contribute to a prosperous and happy future. We wish you success in your journey through the program and in your growth as a global energy leader.
