On September 1, the Korean SK Group signed a cooperative agreement with Tsinghua University and joined the Tsinghua UICC, thereby becoming the 40th overseas member enterprise.
The SK Group, the third largest multi-national corporation in South Korea, runs three major areas of business: energy and chemical engineering, information and communication, and trade and services. With two of its subsidiary companies listed in the Global 500, its total sales in 2009 reached 79.6 billion U.S. dollars. Through in-depth cooperation with Tsinghua University in areas such as scientific research, talent fostering and information services, the SK Group hopes to explore and develop new innovative and technology-leading business opportunities to cater to the needs of the Chinese market.
