The program consists of five parts: 'LG Tech Fair,' 'LG AX Fair,' 'LG AI Talk Concert,' 'LG AI DevCon,' and 'Culture Week.' Among them, 'LG Tech Fair' is the opening program for unveiling new R&D technologies from affiliates.
The opening event on the 7th will be attended by CTOs and research executives from major affiliates. On the opening day, they will share core technologies and discuss ways to strengthen collaboration among affiliates.
LG Tech Fair will be held from the 7th to the 8th, with 41 future technologies unveiled. This year, a new core technology category for 'One LG' was added, reflecting the concentration of capabilities across affiliates. A total of 13 technologies will be unveiled under 'One LG.'
The three major areas under 'One LG' are physical AI, AIDC, and mobility. Physical AI exhibits include the integration of the home robot 'CLOiD' with AI home appliances, featuring functions that autonomously handle cleaning, air management, and item delivery. AIDC technologies to be unveiled include hybrid bonding equipment for improving AI semiconductor performance and a high-heat-dissipation adhesive film (NCF), while mobility technologies include a transparent film for vehicles (SGF) and a hairpin motor.
The remaining exhibits consist of 28 future business technologies in the ABC areas. The ABC categories are AI, biotech, and cleantech. In the AI area, technologies based on a 'behavior foundation model' that predicts in-home behavior will be unveiled, while in biotech and cleantech, hair loss care materials and technologies to improve battery performance and safety will be on display.
