[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Hyung-gil] LG Energy Solution is strengthening industry-academia cooperation with Yonsei University for electric vehicle battery technology development.

LG Energy Solution and Yonsei University announced on the 22nd that they signed an "Industry-Academia Cooperation Agreement for the Operation of an Automotive Battery Technology Development Program" at Yonsei University's Sinchon Campus in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul.

Unlike previous industry-academia cooperation focused on next-generation battery materials and other preliminary technologies, this collaboration is characterized by expanding into practical technology fields closely linked to the development of current products for electric vehicles.

Additionally, to facilitate effective cooperation, an Automotive Battery Industry-Academia Technology Center, a working consultative body, will be established under Yonsei University's Secondary Battery Research Center.

Kim Dong-myung, Vice President and Head of the Automotive Battery Division at LG Energy Solution, said, "In the rapidly changing electric vehicle battery market, open innovation in practical technology fields closely related to currently commercialized products is becoming increasingly important to secure differentiated quality and safety. Based on this cooperation, we will provide customers with the world's best products and solutions."

Myeong Jae-min, Dean of the College of Engineering at Yonsei University, stated, "This is another meaningful collaboration following the establishment of the Secondary Battery Contract Department last year. We expect it to greatly contribute to advancing the electric vehicle battery technology competitiveness of LG Energy Solution, a global leader in the secondary battery field, to the next level."
