About Us
MexKo Foundation
MexKo Foundation is a U.S.-headquartered nonprofit organization (501(c)(3)) with branches in Mexico and South Korea. We were born from a shared belief: that access to clean energy, stable housing, and advanced technology should not be a privilege.
We serve as a bridge — connecting governments, industries, universities, and communities across borders to build a more equitable future.
Founded by Hae-Bum Yun, PhD & Santiago Arroyo · Orlando, FL
