On August 25, LG Innotek announced that it recently held a global talent recruitment event, "Inno Connect," at the InterContinental Hotel Downtown in Los Angeles, California, USA.

Since 2024, "Inno Connect" has been held annually, inviting talented individuals from top universities in the United States to introduce LG Innotek’s future vision and technology leadership.

This year, more than 30 master’s and doctoral candidates and experienced professionals from 16 leading U.S. universities, including Stanford University, the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Yale University, and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), were invited. Key executives responsible for LG Innotek’s research and development (R&D), including Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Minjon, Senior Executive Vice President, and Chief Human Resources Officer (CHO) Lee Donghoon, Senior Executive Vice President, were also in attendance.

The main research fields of the invited talent—such as physical AI including robotics and autonomous driving, advanced packaging (Advanced PKG), and next-generation optics—are closely aligned with the future growth engines that LG Innotek is developing.

At the event, LG Innotek researchers attracted attention by presenting the latest technology trends and research status by field of study. In addition, participants had the opportunity to understand the company's talent development philosophy and internal support systems that enable professional growth, through a freely interactive "Ask Me Anything (AMA) session" with senior management.

Minjon, CTO, said, "LG Innotek is a global company with strong partnerships with leading big tech companies, and at its core are world-class talents recognized worldwide. I hope you will fully realize your capabilities at LG Innotek, which offers the best opportunities and environment for growth as experts in your fields, and become pioneers leading the era of physical AI."

Meanwhile, to strengthen its global business capabilities, LG Innotek actively operates a "Global Internship" program each year for international and Korean students at universities and graduate schools both in Korea and abroad. Outstanding interns are offered conversion to full-time positions.

Additionally, LG Innotek’s Vietnamese corporation, which serves as an overseas strategic production base, has signed memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with major local universities such as Hanoi University of Science and Technology and Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology. It operates various recruitment-linked programs, including contracted academic departments, internships, and career guidance.
