Background and Purpose of the Partnership
GTS Advisory Inc. (Headquarters: Seoul, South Korea; Representative Director & CEO: Masahiro Kimura) is pleased to announce the official signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and an Agent Agreement with GPR, a Singapore-based energy trading firm, effective April 20, 2026.
As economic growth across Asia and geopolitical shifts make the restructuring of energy supply chains an urgent priority, Singapore serves as the premier hub for global energy trading. This partnership aims to create new business synergies by integrating GPR’s sophisticated trading capabilities and global supply network with GTS Advisory’s robust network of top-tier management in Japan and South Korea.
Business Expansion as a "Maestro" Leveraging General Trading Company Expertise
Maximizing the experience and insights gained from leading the front lines of energy business and new business development at a major Japanese general trading company (Sogo Shosha) for many years, GTS Advisory provides "hands-on" support that goes far beyond mere intermediation.
Under this Agent Agreement, GTS Advisory will focus its operations on the following areas:
- Supporting the expansion of GPR’s energy trading within the Japanese and Korean markets
- Structuring new projects that connect prominent Japan-Korea enterprises with Singapore's hub capabilities
- Facilitating cross-border alliance building and negotiation support in the energy and resources sector
Future Outlook
As a "Maestro" who harmonizes diverse business elements, GTS Advisory is committed to providing Japanese and Korean companies with the dynamism of "real-world business (trading)" that transcends traditional consulting boundaries. Starting with this partnership, we will build a solid triangle connecting Singapore, South Korea, and Japan, contributing to the sustainable growth of our client companies and the advancement of their energy businesses.
