Hanwha Group affiliates held a gathering of financial experts and promising talent from Korea and the United States at its “Lifeplus NY 2025" event in New York on Friday.

Now in its third year, the Lifeplus program serves as a global talent-development platform that helps young Korean financial professionals grow into globally competitive leaders. It also aims to strengthen Korea-U. S. financial networks and promote a sustainable financial ecosystem, according to Hanwha Group.

Lifeplus is a joint brand of Hanwha Group's financial affiliates, created from the idea that finance should enrich people's lives.

Held under the theme “Connecting Dreams,” this year’s event brought together financial and technology leaders from both Korea and the U.S. to discuss the convergence of finance and innovation. Senior executives from Blackstone, Morgan Stanley, the Ethereum Foundation, LinqAlpha and Hyperithm participated as speakers, sharing insights on the future of finance and technology and praising the growing influence of “next-generation K-leadership.”

A group mentoring session allowed young Korean and Korean-American participants to have in-depth discussions on career development with professionals from leading financial and tech firms.

“'Lifeplus NY 2025' embodies Hanwha Finance’s vision of connecting people and preparing for the future through finance and technology,” said Kim Yoon-jong, Head of Global HR at Hanwha Life. “We will continue to provide opportunities for next-generation talent to build global competitiveness.”

Through Lifeplus, Hanwha Group aims to foster sustainable finance, cultivate future leaders and strengthen Korea’s financial leadership on the global stage, the company said.
