Korean battery material and chemical company Posco Future M has been recognized by Fortune Asia as one of the top 30 most innovative companies in Asia, set to drive future growth, the company said on Thursday.
The 2024 Fortune Asia Future 30 award was presented at the Fortune Innovation Forum in Hong Kong on Wednesday. Posco Future M's progress from traditional industrial materials to leading-edge sectors like cathode material production has been marked by significant achievements, including the successful localization of core battery materials and a strategic merger to produce both cathode and anode materials.
