LG showed its commitment to early nurturing of science prodigies by inviting 27 science high school students to the event for the first time this year. The science high school students participated in an Innovation Gallery tour showcasing LG's innovative technologies and products, had lunch with LG senior employees who graduated from science high schools, attended special lectures by LG's technology leaders, and held discussions with senior employees.

Meanwhile, LG has created the best research environment through bold investments to secure outstanding R&D talents. LG invested 4 trillion won in establishing LG Science Park to enable employees to realize innovative ideas in an optimal research environment. LG Science Park, located in Seoul, is the largest single-company R&D convergence research complex, and recently, LG Electronics expanded it by adding four research buildings, making it a research hub where 25,000 employees from eight affiliates collaborate across a total of 26 buildings.
