“The 2013 WEC in Daegu will make the council’s network and study more visible,” World Energy Council chairman Pierre Gadonneix said during a press conference in Seoul on Thursday.

Korea Electric Power Corp. CEO Kim Joong-kyum, who chairs the organizing committee for the 2013 WEC, added the WEC in Korea will offer Asian participants an opportunity to increase their presence in the energy sector and build bridges between developed and developing countries.

The 2013 WEC is also expected to highlight smart grids as a key technology in the transition to a low carbon economy.
