LG and Microsoft are expanding their strategic collaboration in three areas: AIDC, AX and physical AI. The two companies held a TMM on the 21st at Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Washington, in the United States, local time.
At the TMM, the companies discussed ways to expand their strategic partnership. The meeting was attended by LG CEO Koo Kwang-mo and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.
Also attending were LG COO Kwon Bong-seok, LG Electronics CEO Ryu Jae-cheol, LG Uplus CEO Hong Bum-shik, LG CNS CEO Hyun Shin-kyun and LG Sciencepark president Jung Soo-hyun. Through the top executives' meeting, the two companies discussed directions for expanding cooperation and identified AIDC, AX and physical AI as application areas.
Of these, the first area of cooperation is AIDC infrastructure. The two companies agreed to jointly identify business opportunities for LG's cooling, power and IT infrastructure solution supplies in line with Microsoft’s global data center expansion.
In the short term, the collaboration will move forward by focusing on strategic AIDC sites and concretizing opportunities to supply large-capacity cooling solutions. The companies also plan to expand their medium- to long-term areas of cooperation to prefab data centers. Prefab data centers are expected to shorten construction periods and improve scalability.
In AX, the two companies will jointly push ahead with the transformation of LG’s work environment. LG plans to introduce Microsoft AI and cloud platforms, including Copilot, for office workers across the company. The key to designing the work environment is not just adopting AI tools, but also considering security, cost and operational efficiency at the same time.
LG is planning to internalize the way AI is actually used in work. Based on this, it will fully accelerate its transition into an 'AI-native' company.
In physical AI, LG will leverage Microsoft’s high-performance cloud infrastructure. LG plans to use cloud resources to speed up the development and training of AI models for real-world environments such as manufacturing, logistics and mobility.
The two companies agreed to cooperate in continuously accumulating data generated on manufacturing sites and using the accumulated data to train AI models. They also plan to work together to build a 'Data Flywheel' that repeatedly connects site data with model training, and through this strategy, they aim to improve the performance of physical AI and expand its applications.
The collaboration began to be discussed last December after a tech showcase at Microsoft headquarters and was finalized as those discussions became more concrete. Since then, the two companies have continued working-level consultations and exchanges among executives, and the scope of cooperation has expanded from AIDC infrastructure to AX and physical AI.
