Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and First Lady Marty Kemp met with South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol during a trade mission to Seoul. The visit included engagements with key investors like Hyundai, Kia, CJ Foodville, and SK On. Hyundai's plans to produce their first Georgia-built EV, the IONIQ 5, and their partnership with Georgia Tech to research hydrogen fuel cell technology were highlighted. Despite falling short in securing federal funding for hydrogen research, the discussions emphasized the flourishing partnership between Georgia and Korea. The focus was on promoting economic growth, innovation, and stability in the Asia-Pacific region. Georgia's Department of Economic Development Commissioner highlighted the strong business ties between the two regions and the potential for increased employment opportunities. Governor Kemp's efforts in meeting global leaders aim to strengthen Georgia's position on the international stage and foster economic growth through strategic partnerships.
