In March 2013, Neutopia was a special guest speaker at the International Vertical Cities Conference in Seoul, and toured the region for a few weeks to meet with key stakeholders and understand the problems, opportunities and to discover the potential for Neutopia Ambassadors to launch our efforts in South Korea.
Thanks to South Korea’s forward-thinking government, their Renewable Portfolio Standard and major initiatives to adopt Energy Efficiency in Buildings and Communities, we see it as a direct fit for Neutopia’s Social Benefit Green Partnership Programs and planting our seeds in their fertile economic development environment. We met with officials from the Canadian Embassy, South Korean Economic Development offices representing 2 major development sites, international project developers and technology providers and already attracted a hotel owner who is eager to ‘go green’…all in only one week!
