LS Group Holds 'LS Future Day' to Discover Future Growth Engines

On the 19th, at the LS Future Day held at Anyang LS Tower, Koo Ja-eun, Chairman of LS Group, is delivering an encouragement speech.

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] LS Group announced on the 20th that it held the 'LS Future Day' for the first time, an event to share ideas for future new businesses, outstanding cases of research and development (R&D), and digital transformation achievements. LS Group plans to regularize this event and hold it once a year around September.

At the LS Future Day encouragement speech held the day before, Koo Ja-eun, Chairman of LS Group, said, "I saw the image of futurists who will change LS's future through the creativity you showed today," and emphasized, "Let's create an LS that has grown twice as much by 2030 together." He then introduced the case of researcher Oh Young-jae, who worked for 32 years for the successful launch of the Nuriho rocket, saying, "People who constantly pursue their dreams ultimately create a new future. We will act as a launch pad so that you can soar like a rocket, so challenge yourselves freely."

He also mentioned four elements to realize creative ideas: "horizontal communication," "agile organization," "tolerance for failure," and "reward for performance," adding, "We will do our best to create an environment where you can pursue and realize your dreams."

The event was attended by about 200 executives and employees, including Chairman Koo, CEOs, CTOs (Chief Technology Officers), and CDOs (Chief Digital Officers) of each LS affiliate, and featured presentations and award ceremonies for outstanding cases selected from each affiliate.

Meanwhile, six projects, including LS Cable & System's recycling of waste cables and LS Electric's EV charging for apartment complexes, were selected as creative ideas leading the group's future growth. Nine projects from nine companies, such as LS Cable & System's ultra-fast charging cables for electric vehicles and LS Electric's low-voltage distribution panels for the Americas, were chosen as R&D cases that created differentiated competitive advantages. Five projects from five companies, including LS Electric's smart factory and LS-Nikko Copper Refinery's automatic oxygen control per ton, were recognized as examples of innovation that strengthened the competitiveness of existing businesses.
