EnerNOC Korea, the local subsidiary of a U.S.-based energy intelligence software provider, is moving to become a key player in the nation's IT-converged energy industry, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Commerce.
This comes as U.S. Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Industry & Analysis Marcus Jadotte visited the EnerNOC Korea headquarters, Friday, as part of his eight-day trip to the Asia-Pacific region.
Both sides discussed details about partnerships on cybersecurity, tightening the firm's grip on the IT-centered energy business in Korea.
"His visit to EnerNOC Korea is clear evidence to show our leadership position and transformative role within the industry," said Kim Hyoung-min, EnerNOC Korea managing director. "EnerNOC is a leading player in the local energy industry. We will continue to expand our footprint here for the growth of the nation's energy industry."
The U.S. official also stressed that he would do all he could to strengthen strategic alliances with East Asian countries, raising the importance of information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure.
"The digital economy is transforming the world, and the United States is committed to helping our strategic partners protect themselves," Jadotte said.
