POSCO Future M will continue sponsoring Didim Seed Accounts to help vulnerable youths become self-reliant. The company said it will provide 48 million won in support from April this year to March next year for 80 youths in areas near major sites including Pohang, Gwangyang, Sejong and Seoul. With a 50,000 won monthly deposit per person and additional support from local governments, each participant will build 1.8 million won over a year. Cumulative support will reach 336 million won by next March.

Posco Future M will jointly develop anodeless lithium metal batteries with Kumho Petrochemical and BEI. The companies signed an MOU on March 25 at Posco Center in Seoul and agreed to combine their materials and cell manufacturing technologies to improve next-generation battery technology. The battery design removes the anode to raise energy density and speed charging. The partners will also consider joint commercialization for new markets such as drones and robotics.
