LG Wins Global Innovation Award at 2025 Nissan Global Innovation & Quality Awards
LG Electronics (LG), has been honored with the Global Innovation Award at the 2025 Nissan Global Innovation & Quality Award ceremony. This annual program celebrates suppliers who have made exceptional contributions to enhancing Nissan’s product competitiveness and brand value.
The prestigious award recognizes LG’s innovative contributions in 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. 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.
Receiving its first-ever Global Innovation Award marks a significant milestone in LG’s long-standing partnership with Nissan. Building on this recognition, LG looks forward to deepening its collaboration by expanding into broader technological domains. These include next-generation digital cockpit systems that integrate advanced mobility innovation technology and diverse software solutions that enhance the in-vehicle experience.
“This award is a testament to LG’s technological leadership in the era of Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs),” said Donghun Lee, LG’s President for East Africa. “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.”
As a global leader in vehicle component technologies, LG is actively responding to the evolving needs of the market and customers as the industry transitions towards SDVs and continues to drive sustained 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.
Building on these innovation efforts, LG leads in advancing telematics, a core SDV component, as demonstrated by its No. 1 global market share in automotive telematics last year with 24.4 percent based on its own estimates using data from Strategy Analytics. The company’s telematics technology enables real-time, high-capacity data communication by seamlessly connecting in-vehicle networks to external 5G infrastructure. With these strengths in telematics and its broad software expertise, LG is further solidifying its role in shaping the future of connected and autonomous vehicles.
