BloombergNEF is pleased to host BNEF Forum Seoul 2026 on June 18.

Global energy markets are facing heightened volatility as geopolitical risks in the Middle East persist and uncertainty continues around major maritime routes. Potential disruptions to energy infrastructure and seaborne trade are placing energy security back at the center of the global agenda. For South Korea, which depends heavily on energy imports, these external shocks have direct implications for power costs, inflation, supply chain resilience and industrial competitiveness. Against this backdrop, understanding the structural shifts underway in global energy markets – and how best to respond – has never been more important.

This year’s forum will explore the latest trends in energy transition investment and examine how geopolitical risks linked to the Middle East are affecting global energy markets, including liquefied natural gas. The forum will also examine Asia Pacific’s rapidly expanding data-center market, driven by rising demand for artificial intelligence and cloud services, and assess the opportunities and challenges associated with securing reliable power supply in key markets as electricity demand accelerates. Drawing on BNEF’s long-term global energy-transition scenarios and the outlook for South Korea’s macroeconomy, the forum will bring together industry leaders to discuss the future direction of the country’s energy transition and the practical steps needed to advance it.

We invite you to join us at BNEF Forum Seoul 2026 to discuss the global trends reshaping energy markets and the implications for Korea’s energy transition.
