LG Energy Solution held a global talent recruitment event called the 'Battery Tech Conference' (BTC) in Chicago, U.S., on the 26th (local time), as announced on the 27th.
BTC is a recruitment-linked event where LG Energy Solution invites doctoral and master's level talents from around the world each year to introduce the company's technological capabilities and vision. Following events in San Francisco in 2023 and New York last year, this year it was held in Chicago.
About 40 master's and doctoral talents invited from leading universities and research institutions in the U.S., including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Stanford University, and UC Berkeley, attended the event. LG Energy Solution's President Dong-myung Kim and other senior executives were present. At the venue, Kim and the executives communicated with attendees on various topics, including LG Energy Solution's technological leadership, research and development (R&D) examples, business vision, and organizational culture.
Kim said, “The battery industry has tremendous growth potential to change the future of humanity,” adding, “This event was organized to find 'growth partners' to design the future together with LG Energy Solution amidst infinite possibilities.”
Networking was actively conducted. Attendees had the opportunity to share research fields and grasp the latest research trends through invited talent research presentations and poster sessions. LG Energy Solution also showcased differentiated technological capabilities as its teams directly introduced key battery technologies and specific research cases.
Meanwhile, LG Energy Solution will hold ‘BTC Europe’ in Frankfurt, Germany, at the end of June.
