LG Electronics, the South Korean multinational conglomerate, bags the Global Innovation Award, 2025, at the 2025 Nissan Global Innovation & Quality Award ceremony. It is to celebrate suppliers who have made exceptional contributions to enhancing Nissan’s product competitiveness and brand value. The award recognizes LG’s efforts in driving innovation in in-vehicle infotainment. 

This is among the first-ever Global Innovation Awards bagged by LG, marking a significant milestone in LG’s long-standing partnership with Nissan. This would pave the way for the companies to deepen their collaboration across various other domains, including next-generation cockpits integrating hardware and software innovations. 

In-Vehicle Computing Platform 

This prestigious award recognizes LG’s innovative contributions to In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) as Nissan’s strategic hardware and software partner. LG has played a pivotal role in developing a high-performance in-vehicle computing platform that integrally manages various digital functions within the vehicle. 

Apart from this, the company previously achieved stable and successful mass production of Nissan’s earlier IVI systems, starting in Europe in 2024 and expanding to other regions. This consistent track record has opened up new opportunities for future projects, including next-generation platforms.

Leading the Era of SDVs

“This award is a testament to LG’s technological leadership in the era of Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs),” said Eun Seok-hyun, president of the LG Vehicle Solution Company. “We will continue to provide new value in the future mobility market by deepening our partnership with automakers as we shape the future of mobility together.”

Other Areas of Innovation 

Last year, LG achieved the No. 1 global market share in automotive telematics with 24.4 percent, based on its analysis of Strategy Analytics data. The company’s telematics technology enables real-time, high-capacity data communication by seamlessly connecting in-vehicle networks to external 5G infrastructure.

Beyond these, LG is continuously working to enable the industry's transition towards Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs), driving innovation across all major automotive component areas, encompassing both hardware and software, including IVI, telematics, and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)—key enablers of electric and autonomous vehicles.
