Coreo Advisory | Cross-border transaction advisory for the energy transition

01 / Our missionWhy cross-border

The energy transition is global. The best partnerships reach across regions.

Each region brings its own capital, capability and experience. Value is created where they connect, and Coreo exists to make that connection work.

The opportunity

The challenge

Where Coreo comes in

The opportunity

A wider pool of capital, companies and projects

Looking beyond home multiplies the pool of capital, companies and projects, and diversifies investment across regions and policy regimes.
Capital of different character, and the experience and capabilities of shareholders and companies, create synergies neither side finds alone.
What is learned abroad flows back to each home region.

The challenge

Cross-border deals stall in three gaps

Cultural, language and geographic distance slow every step.
Regional market information is thin from the outside.
Transaction processes and expectations differ on each side of the table.

Where Coreo comes in

An advisor fluent on both sides of the table

Korean at home, and closer to Japanese companies and investors than most Western advisors.
Coverage of the whole energy transition, knowing both the companies and the investors.
Each deal structured to meet the requirements of buyer and seller on both sides of the border.
