en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 8, LG and NVIDIA held a high-level management meeting in Seoul, South Korea, announcing the expansion of their strategic cooperation in the fields of industrial AI, physical AI, AI infrastructure, and mobility.
LG Group Chairman and CEO Koo Kwang-mo and NVIDIA Founder and CEO Jensen Huang met in front of the LG Twin Towers in Yeouido, Seoul, with senior management from both companies in attendance. The meeting aimed to expand the scope of mid- to long-term strategic cooperation between the two companies to drive industrial innovation in the AI era.
The expanded cooperation combines NVIDIA's AI technology with LG's manufacturing and infrastructure capabilities, aiming to accelerate the deployment of AI in daily life and industrial sites. LG has accumulated decades of experience in global manufacturing and possesses vast amounts of lifestyle data obtained through global customer touchpoints. The combination of these assets with NVIDIA's technology is expected to accelerate global AI innovation spanning both industry and daily life.
Koo Kwang-mo stated that the two sides had in-depth discussions on strategic cooperation to transform future industries. He believes that the AI ecosystem blueprint envisioned by NVIDIA aligns with LG's future direction, which is committed to creating meaningful changes for customers' daily lives and global industrial sites. He noted that this meeting serves as a starting point for the two companies to further solidify their partnership.
Jensen Huang pointed out that South Korea excels in manufacturing, mechatronics, and AI, and the convergence of these strengths will make robotics and physical AI a major growth area for the country. He mentioned that with NVIDIA DSX and physical AI platforms, LG can extend its leadership from homes and vehicles to factories and AI infrastructure.
In the field of physical AI and robotics, the two companies will pursue a win-win strategy based on their respective core competencies. LG provides production technology data and know-how from its global manufacturing sites, while NVIDIA offers NVIDIA Isaac, Omniverse, and Cosmos AI and simulation technologies. By combining these strengths, the two sides plan to enhance AI-driven manufacturing competitiveness, build an autonomous manufacturing ecosystem where data and AI connect the entire process in real time—from raw material procurement to customer delivery—and establish it as a new global standard for smart factories.
The two companies will also jointly develop NVIDIA's next-generation robot foundation model, GR00T, to strengthen cooperation in the robotics field. The scope of cooperation covers the entire process from data collection and generation, simulation, training, to action, involving various types of robots including humanoid robots and logistics robots. Among them, LG Innotek will serve as the "eyes and ears" of robots based on its optical technology, developing high-performance sensing modules and optical components optimized for NVIDIA's AI infrastructure. Meanwhile, LG CNS is building an ecosystem that enables AI robots to be easily adopted in manufacturing and logistics sites. By integrating technologies such as NVIDIA Isaac, Cosmos, and Isaac GR00T into its industrial robot platform "PhysicalWorks," it aims to accelerate AI transformation in logistics and manufacturing workshops.
In the AI factory domain, the two sides will expand cooperation in next-generation AI infrastructure. LG Electronics plans to collaborate with NVIDIA to develop AI infrastructure thermal management cooling solutions, including coolant distribution units (CDUs) and cold plates, as well as prefabricated modular design technology based on NVIDIA DSX reference designs. LG Energy Solution will jointly develop with NVIDIA an 800V DC-based data center power solution to improve the energy efficiency of AI data centers. LG CNS plans to adopt the NVIDIA DSX AI factory reference design to build next-generation AI data centers. LG Uplus plans to leverage NVIDIA Rubin GPUs to construct large-scale AI infrastructure.
In the mobility sector, the two companies will accelerate the realization of autonomous driving and software-defined vehicles. LG Electronics will integrate its in-vehicle infotainment capabilities with the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion platform to advance the development of advanced driver-assistance systems. LG Innotek will expand the development of core automotive components optimized for the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion architecture, including communication modules, sensing solutions, and automotive lighting systems.
Additionally, LG and NVIDIA will strengthen their technology alliance to enhance South Korea's AI competitiveness. LG AI Research plans to utilize NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, along with other AI development platforms and tools, in the development of EXAONE to improve training efficiency and inference performance. LG also plans to expand the adoption of NVIDIA-powered AI agents across the entire group, including its enterprise AI agent service ChatEXAONE, to accelerate enterprise AI transformation.
