Christoph Nowak, German Chair of the Korean-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KGCCI) and Managing Director of DACHSER Korea, highlighted the strategic value of strengthening bilateral cooperation between Korea and Germany in an era of rapid technological transformation and global economic uncertainty.
Nowak noted that both manufacturing- and export-driven economies possess highly complementary capabilities: Germany offers deep expertise in renewable energy deployment, project development, and grid integration, while Korea excels in semiconductor production, engineering, advanced batteries, and digital technologies. Emphasizing that energy policy directly translates to industrial competitiveness for advanced manufacturing facilities, he underscored the pivotal role of platforms like the Korean-German Energy Partnership. Looking ahead, the upcoming 19th Asia-Pacific Conference of German Business (APK 2026) in Seoul—scheduled for October 29–31—is set to serve as a key milestone for high-level political and business engagement, addressing critical topics from industrial AI and supply chain resilience to raw materials and sustainability.
