The chairman will also present the conglomerate’s operations in US and investment plans at an evening event that brings around 200 leaders from businesses, the government and academia, SK said.
Chey has been traveling around the world while stressing the need to bring deep change in SK’s global business throughout this year. Its energy arm SK Innovation announced Monday its plan to build new battery factory for electric vehicles in the state of Georgia.
