The global economy is entering a period in which many of the most consequential decisions are being made inside companies rather than governments. From supply chains and energy systems to the future of mobility, global CEOs are navigating forces reshaping the world economy in real time.
I recently sat down with one of the leaders helping shape that future. Euisun Chung, Executive Chair of Hyundai Motor Group and a member of the Global Advisory Board of Semafor World Economy, leads one of the world’s largest and most technologically ambitious industrial companies, spanning automotive, robotics, hydrogen energy, and advanced manufacturing.
Our conversation explores Chung’s vision for Hyundai and how the company is navigating geopolitical fragmentation, expanding investment in the United States, and preparing for the next era of robotics, hydrogen, and mobility.
