A working group of over 30 key executives to identify commercialization and priority tasks.
Following the meeting between LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, LG Group is accelerating follow-up discussions for strategic cooperation in the next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) industry.
According to industry sources on the 21st, executives from major LG Group affiliates are scheduled to visit NVIDIA's headquarters in Santa Clara, California, U.S., on the 22nd (local time) to discuss practical business cooperation plans in the fields of physical AI and robotics with NVIDIA executives.
This meeting will be attended by a large working group of over 30 people, including key executives such as Hyun Shin-kyun, President of LG CNS; Jung Su-heon, CEO of LG Science Park (Executive Vice President); Kim Byung-hoon, CTO of LG Electronics (Executive Vice President); Lee Hyun-wook, Head of LG Electronics HS Research Center (Executive Vice President); and Min John, CTO of LG Innotek (Managing Director), as well as working-level staff from LG Electronics, LG Innotek, LG CNS, and LG AI Research.
They will hold working-level discussions with NVIDIA, exploring commercialization possibilities and identifying priority tasks through technical sessions and discussions on specific cooperation projects.
Discussions among the executives are also expected to include cooperation plans based on 'One LG,' which consolidates core group-level capabilities.
On the 8th, Chairman Koo and CEO Huang met at LG Twin Tower in Yeouido, Seoul, and agreed to solidify their partnership and strengthen mid-to-long-term cooperation across the entire AI ecosystem, including physical AI, AI infrastructure, and future mobility, which encompasses the joint development of reference (development standard) robots.
Industry sources analyze that this visit by key executives is a follow-up working-level discussion occurring just two weeks after the meeting between the two companies' top executives, signifying that the cooperation roadmap between the two companies is rapidly taking shape.
LG plans to build a next-generation AI ecosystem and accelerate AI innovation by organically combining NVIDIA's full-stack, end-to-end AI platform with LG Group's capabilities in home appliances, robots, mobility components, smart spaces, and AI infrastructure.
An industry official stated, "NVIDIA provides not only graphics processing units (GPUs) but also AI solutions and platforms, while LG possesses manufacturing and infrastructure capabilities to implement them in industrial sites and daily life." They added, "The two companies could become key partners leading the proliferation of physical AI."
