Chairman Cho has identified the power equipment business as Hyosung Group’s next growth engine, reaffirming the Group’s commitment to maintaining a leading role in the global power equipment market.

  • Power Infrastructure at the Heart of the AI Economy, Chairman Cho Emphasizes

Chairman Cho has consistently reinforced his view that “AI is transforming industries and daily life, and reliable power infrastructure has become ever more critical.” He further noted, “To anticipate global customer requirements and respond to rapid market changes, Hyosung Heavy Industries must secure distinctive technological competitiveness to position itself as a critical supplier to the AI economy.”

Despite a slowdown in the global power sector and strong competition from established European players, Chairman Cho has sustained investment in next-generation grid solutions, including AI-enabled smart factories. Since March of this year, he has been directly engaged as an internal director of Hyosung Heavy Industries, providing full strategic support and drawing on international networks to expand the company’s footprint in new and emerging markets.

  • Hyosung Heavy Industries Secures Major Power Equipment Orders in North America and Europe

These initiatives are delivering tangible results. Hyosung Heavy Industries has signed a series of high-value contracts across North America and Europe.

Hyosung Heavy Industries has become the first Korean manufacturer to enter into a long-term supply agreement for ultra-high-voltage transformers and reactors with leading German transmission system operators. In Scotland, Hyosung secured an order valued at KRW 85 billion to supply ultra-high-voltage transformers. It also concluded a long-term contract with French transmission operators last year and won additional orders earlier this year. Hyosung is strengthening its position in Europe, one of the most advanced power markets globally, through participation in the UK National Grid’s large-scale phase-shifting transformer program and an ultra-high-voltage transformer project for Norway’s state-owned utility.

Analysts also highlight the company’s timely response to the U.S. power market, which has entered a strong growth cycle, by localizing production at an early stage. This year, Hyosung Heavy Industries won the largest single order for ultra-high-voltage breakers in the North American market and continues to secure additional contracts for advanced, large-capacity products such as 765kV ultra-high-voltage transformers and 800kV gas-insulated switchgear (GIS).

  • Hyosung’s Technological Competitiveness Brings Global Recognition for HVDC Localization

Hyosung Heavy Industries is accelerating the localization of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission technology as it aims to lead the next phase of the global power market.

The company initiated development of a 200MW HVDC system in 2017 under the leadership of Chairman Cho. Despite financial headwinds at the time, Hyosung committed KRW 100 billion (approx. USD 72 million) to R&D over seven years, achieving the successful localization of a 200MW-class HVDC system in Korea last year—a first for the nation.

HVDC technology converts alternating current (AC) generated at power plants into direct current (DC) for efficient long-distance transmission, and then back it into AC for delivery to homes and businesses. While high-voltage alternating current (HVAC) has been the conventional method, HVDC is increasingly recognized for its superior efficiency in transmitting large amounts of power across long distances. The rise of advanced power semiconductors (IGBTs) and digital control systems has enhanced conversion and voltage management, underscoring HVDC’s strategic importance.

Chairman Cho stated, “HVDC is not simply a transmission method—it is a cornerstone technology that will shape the future energy landscape.” He added, “We are committed to positioning Hyosung Heavy Industries as a leading player in the global HVDC market.”

Looking forward, Hyosung Heavy Industries plans to secure technology leadership through the development of 2GW-class HVDC systems. The company intends to strengthen its position in both domestic and international transmission network projects, demonstrating the capabilities required to lead in the next generation of power infrastructure.

6G Integrated Sensing and Communications Offers Mobile Operators a Unique Chance to Redefine Networks

NEW YORK, Sept. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) is a key concept being developed for 6G, which transforms cellular networks into radars and allows them to both sense their environment and communicate information about it. Although there are significant technical challenges to bring this to market, it is a concept that can revolutionize mobile networks and allow Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to finally become much more than a data pipe, according to ABI Research, a global technology intelligence firm. The commercial opportunities for ISAC are substantial and offer MNOs a chance to get into new markets, parts of which are not served by other technologies or companies.

“ISAC is a unique opportunity for mobile operators to break free of their connectivity legacy,” said Dimitris Mavrakis, Senior Research Director at ABI Research. “Coupled with network APIs, they can become brokers for location and positioning across their network footprint, helping enterprises locate their assets and protect their locations. Mobile operators cannot afford to ignore ISAC, as it is key for them to continue growing their business. It is the first truly innovative concept discussed for cellular networks since 4G introduced mobile broadband.”

In 2025, vendors and mobile operators are conducting live commercial trials to understand the technical and commercial implications of deploying ISAC, while ETSI, 3GPP, and other industry bodies are continuing their standardization efforts. Initial trials in China indicate that there is some commercial interest in sensing, mostly driven by the low-altitude economy, but it is still too early to understand if the new technology makes commercial sense. The challenge is compounded by the fact that a fully capable ISAC radio is not backward compatible with existing 5G infrastructure, meaning that an upgrade could cost upwards of $50,000 to $100,000 per cell site. This may not be something mobile operators are willing to risk at the current stage of the market, but demand and economies of scale will bring prices down while exposing the market to ISAC’s capabilities.

ISAC is a unique and challenging opportunity, and vendors are currently investing in R&D and filing for relevant patents. Although it’s early, ISAC has the capability to completely redefine the market and upset the long-established dynamics while creating burgeoning new ecosystem. As such, early adopters are starting to assess the technology today, when the interest, hype, and investment around ISAC is just ramping up.

These findings are from ABI Research’s Integrated Sensing and Communications: Market Developments & Use Case Analysis report, part of the company’s 5G, 6G, and Open RAN research service, which includes research, data, and ABI Insights.

ZEISS is also celebrating key product milestones, including a special event with Dr. Elena Barraquer in the ZEISS booth #C1.130 on Saturday, Sept. 13, at 3:00 PM CET to highlight more than 10 million cataract surgeries conducted using VisionBlue® anterior stain from DORC, reflecting the solution’s continued leadership in the market as the only trypan blue stain for anterior use approved by the FDA and now approved for staining of Descemet’s membrane and trabecular meshwork.

Additionally, ZEISS is celebrating IOL clinical milestones which reflect the company’s expertise in optics, featuring two distinct high-quality biomaterials and lens designs. Dr. Andrea Janeková from Eye Center Prague in Czech Republic says, “As the first peer-reviewed study on the AT ELANA® 841P, the data confirm that it delivers excellent distance, intermediate, and near vision with minimal photic phenomena, meeting the expectations of both surgeons and patients. What stood out most to me was the smooth and extended defocus profile of the AT ELANA 841P, which translated into functional vision across a wide range and high patient satisfaction.” Dr. Mfazo Hove from Blue Fin Vision in the UK says, “I knew the AT LISA® tri lenses were good – my patients repeatedly told me. They have exceeded all my expectations since having them implanted 18 months ago. I might even have become a better surgeon – the numbers don’t lie. PC rupture 0.2% off 5,600 operations in 12 months down from 0.27%.”

As part of an IOL clinical milestone celebration in the ZEISS booth #C1.130 on Saturday, Sept. 13, at 10:00 AM CET, the ZEISS IOL portfolio will be validated through multiple clinical studies and direct ZEISS IOL experience presented by industry experts including Prof. Gerd U. Auffarth (Heidelberg, Germany) and Dr. Kyungmin Koh (Seoul, Republic of Korea), as well as Dr. Andrea Janeková and Dr. Mfazo Hove.

ZEISS will showcase its latest offerings and new innovations at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) conference from Sept. 12 – 15, 2025, at booth #C1.130.
