LG Innotek CEO Moon Hyuk-soo and other C-level executives of the company attended the event and shared their ideas and roadmap for the company's business with the participants.
The participants expressed interest in the companies' optics, autonomous driving and robotics technologies and their future businesses, including AI services and digital twin technologies, LG Innotek said.
