The InterBattery Convention is the world’s premier battery event. On March 3 - 9, 2024, a delegation of SEDC members will travel to Seoul, South Korea to ramp up Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the American South. SEDC will have an exhibit booth at the show and is set to share the south's business advantages and opportunities. “Our people-and-project-ready member states charge the future of the battery and EV industry,” said Matt Tackett, president of SEDC. “The Council is a great gateway to the world's premier investment location. We plan to leverage our position to the fullest as we invite the world to the American South."
While in Korea, a 13-person SEDC delegation will also meet with trade representatives at the U.S. Embassy and the American Chamber of Commerce. Direct meetings with EV and battery companies will give the delegation access to industry-specific decision-makers and innovators. Prior to departing for Korea, the delegation also met with Korean Embassy representatives in the United States in February.
