Socomec Korea said on November 6 that it held "2026 Designer Day Korea" at the JW Marriott Hotel in Seoul on November 5. Attendees included representatives from South Korean data center developers, design firms, engineering companies and other related businesses.
At the event, the company introduced next-generation power supply technologies and high-efficiency power design approaches for AI data centers.

Wai Tai Yeap, Socomec's Asia-Pacific regional head, said, "South Korea is an important strategic market for data centers and digital infrastructure," adding, "We will build long-term partnerships with South Korean customers and expand investment and support."
