Seoul/New Delhi, July 12, 2024 – LG Electronics (LG) reinforced its strategic vision for 2030 in a global press tour conducted this week in Seoul, South Korea. This vision marks a significant transformation from a global leader in home appliances and consumer electronics to a Smart Life Solution company. LG’s ambitious plan, dubbed ‘Triple 7,’ targets a 7% cumulative average growth rate, 7% operating profit, and a sevenfold increase in enterprise value.

During the five-day media tour, media personnel were introduced to the ‘home of the future,’ brought to life by LG through a series of hands-on experiences. The tour included a visit to the LG Innovation Gallery at LG Sciencepark in Magok, highlighting key future technologies created by LG and its affiliates. Additionally, the tour featured a visit to LG Smart Park in Changwon, showcasing the company’s impressive systems and production capabilities. LG also held informative presentations covering key topics, such as the company’s B2B expansion in mobility and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) as well as other growth sectors; its strategic goal to apply ‘Affectionate Intelligence’ to its new and upcoming smart life solutions; and its ongoing efforts in brand reinvention and continuous customer experience innovation.

LG’s groundbreaking ThinQ UP home appliances can adapt to customers’ changing lifestyles thanks to their unique upgradability without having to make any additional purchases. ThinQ UP technology enables customers to choose and install additional features or functions, providing a more tailored user experience. LG will continuously develop easy-to-install software updates and hardware add-ons, delivering specialised options and new conveniences based on the usage patterns and suggestions of ThinQ UP appliance owners.

The Vehicle component Solutions (VS) Company introduced LG’s software-defined vehicle strategy. The VS Company, which has experienced continuous growth since its successful turnaround in 2022, has reimagined the car as an extension of one’s living space. It is dedicated to delivering immersive in-cabin experiences that redefine the expectations of future automotive design.

Valentin Janiaut, software solutions leader at LG VS Company, noted that cars are fast evolving from a means of transportation to an extension of people’s personal space. LG aims to realize a ‘living space on wheels,’ leveraging its deep understanding of customers to provide a seamless and differentiated in-vehicle experience.
