This purpose-built center enables CHINT’s partners, stakeholders, and customers to draw inspiration from the solutions on display and reimagine innovation to find solutions to their business pain points. It is built with collaboration in mind, where customers can discover the Research & Development experience that will spearhead the region’s next leading edge smart energy solutions.

"Globally and in APAC, CHINT has established a strong track record in driving local companies in their global and regional smart energy expansion plans without compromising environmental goals. Our presence in South Korea will enable us to support the business ventures of companies in the country, specifically in green technologies such as Electric Vehicles and smart power grids.” said Ms. Lisa Wu, Deputy General Manager, Asia Pacific, CHINT Global.
As part of the official launch, CHINT also engaged with local industry stakeholders through thought-leadership sharing sessions. These sessions were focused on how the company had navigated business challenges through innovative approaches to achieve top-notch results in the different markets that CHINT has a presence in.
For instance, CHINT shared about its involvement in the largest ESS project in Southeast Asia, spearheaded by Singapore’s Sembcorp Industries Ltd. This is a project by the Singapore Government to accelerate energy storage for the nation. The ESS commenced its operations in December 2022 and has a maximum storage capacity of 285MWh – meeting the electricity needs of around 24,000 four-room flats (measuring around 90 to 110 square meters on average) for one day in a single discharge. The project was commissioned within a 6-month tenure and is the fastest in the world of its size to be deployed to date.
With over 35 years of global experience, CHINT partners with businesses, governments, and communities to reimagine smart energy solutions that will empower the world.
CHINT’s South Korea office and its Experience Center are co-located at Indeogwon IT Valley.
