LS Group held the 2024 LS Future Day, an opportunity to pledge the group’s future growth to comply with an AI era, at LS Tower in Anyang, Gyeonggi-do, on Sept. 27.
The 2024 LS Future Day marks the third time since the LS T-Fair.
The event, made its debut in 2004 and has been expanded to cover existing business areas and future business segments.

LS Chairman Koo, participating as mentor of the new business idea sector, listens to a remark by a lecturer at the LS Future Day.
In his speech, Chairman Koo said, “Since the core infrastructure of the AI industry is the power industry, it will be another opportunity for our LS, and all executives and staffers have to devote themselves to stepping up work innovation using AI to accomplish our goal “Vision 2030.”
Chairman Koo urged his executives and staffers to not only improve work methods by employing like “LS GPT” and step up cooperative partnership with stakeholders but also develop differentiating product solutions and services with competitive differentiation.
AI exerts, including Prof. Choi Jae-sik of KAIST, Kim Deok-jin, head of IT Communication Research Institute, Prof. Kim Deok-joong of Sookmyung Women’s University, and Prof. Kim Sang-kyun of Kyunghee University were invited to the event.
