- SKK GSB and SEA Tech Korea Co-Hosted a Successful Event NEW
- A special event, co-hosted by SEA Tech Korea and SKK GSB at Sungkyunkwan University, has successfully concluded. SEA Tech Korea is a community founded by our Full-Time MBA student, Filicia Salim (FMBA 2026), to connect Southeast Asians and Koreans in the tech ecosystem. Over 80 people attended the event, which featured a panel discussion on the Korean venture capital landscape with high-profile speakers, as well as a networking session with tech professionals and MBA students from top business schools in Korea. In the panel discussion, prominent venture capitalists discussed the current Korean VC landscape. They pointed out that the VCs in Korea are having a tough time due to several reasons including the current economic and geopolitical situation both locally and globally. However, they noted that there are also some opportunities. For example, by exploring the possibilities of going international – either for fundraising or market expansion. Dias Shakubayev, from Korea University's GSIS, who attended the event, shared, "This event was really good, especially since I'm interested in venture capital and finance in Korea. We learned a lot of interesting things related to how VCs are investing and reallocating their assets, especially within the Asia-Pacific region. If there are similar events, I hope to join."

- Trump's Flip-Flops Keep Financial Markets Spinning
- Professor Terence Lim of SKK GSB at Sungkyunkwan University contributed a column to Korea Economic Daily, saying that global markets swung wildly amid Trump's flip-flops. "Everyone is unsure about what is to come, and as a result, stock prices and interest rates have fallen sharply. The fact that Trump could increase uncertainty throughout his presidency is a significant risk to the global economy," he noted. Professor Lim advised investors, "In times of heightened uncertainty, investors need to rotate out of tech stocks or growth stocks and into income-generating assets."

- Sustainability Academy: A Closer Look At Trump's Energy Policies
- Full-Time students at Sungkyunkwan University's SKK GSB took a closer look at Trump's energy policies during the "Investing in Climate, Investing in Growth (ICIG)" forum. The U.S. is the world's largest oil and natural gas producer, thanks to the shale revolution. The U.S. seeks to expand its global influence through energy exports such as LNG and other resources, solidifying its position as an energy superpower. Trump has said the U.S. needs to increase traditional oil and gas production in order to reduce energy prices for Americans. Ultimately, the Trump administration's aim is to lower energy prices to reduce the cost of living for the middle class. This is another reason Trump aimed at lowering energy prices — to ensure the competitiveness of energy-intensive industries such as AI and data centers. To maintain competitiveness in energy-intensive industries, it is crucial to have a cheap, abundant, and clean electricity supply. Europe and China still rely heavily on imports of fossil fuels, making them vulnerable. Korea also needs to address this issue. #SKKGSB #성균관대 #성균관대mba #mbainkorea #globalmba #Trump #energyprices

- Sustainability Academy: Samsung Guide Dog School Visit
- Do you think that guide dogs for visually impaired people should suppress their instincts and endure stress? The answer is no. If a guide dog sleeps on the subway, it's because they feel safe with their owner, not because they are tired. If a guide dog feels unsafe, they never fall asleep. Full-Time MBA students of Sungkyunkwan University's SKK GSB visited the Samsung Guide Dog School. They couldn't hide their smiles every time they saw and walked with the guide dogs. They gained a better understanding of guide dogs. There are many misconceptions about guide dogs, but whenever they see one, they realize that they need to think, "This dog has a wonderful life." Additionally, the students discovered how to create a successful CSR program. When a company implements a CSR program, it's essential to create new value and make a positive impact on society. When guide dogs were not yet known in Korea, since 1993, Samsung has run the Guide Dog School, and it has become one of Korea's leading corporate CSR programs. #SKKGSB #성균관대 #Samsungguidedogschool #guidedog #samsung #성균관대mba #mbainkorea #globalmba

- Sustainability Academy: Wind Energy Industry in Korea
- It was a special day for Sungkyunkwan University's SKK GSB Full-Time students to learn about wind farms in Korea. They gained insights into the wind energy industry and discovered more about the largest wind farm in Korea. Wind speed is a crucial factor in establishing a wind farm. In Korea, wind farms are typically located on mountaintops. When wind encounters a mountain, it accelerates due to the topographic effect. The largest wind farm in Korea is the Gangwon Wind Farm, which was established in 2001. It produces 226 GWh of electricity annually, supplying power to more than 20,000 households per year. The farm's plan is to produce electric power for more than 40,000 households by completing repowering, which involves replacing all the wind turbine generators to enhance efficiency. #SKKGSB #성균관대학교 #windfarm #windenergy #mbainkorea #globlamba #sustainabilityacademy
