LG aims to identify new market opportunities by collaborating with innovative companies, developing solutions, and testing them in open markets. The goal is to accelerate market growth with the support of LG’s global brand and resources.
The call for submissions is now open, inviting startups, companies, and entrepreneurs to submit their ideas for collaboration with LG. Selected companies will have the opportunity to participate in a multi-month Corporate Accelerator Program, working closely with the LG NOVA team to accelerate business growth.
Additionally, they will receive recommendations for investments through LG NOVA’s capital partners and explore the potential of creating new businesses under the LG brand and portfolio. Studies have shown that businesses nurtured in a business incubator have a significantly higher survival rate compared to startups without support.
“Over the past two years, we’ve built a great community of innovators, established a strong network of capital partners and made new strides in collaborating with companies outside of LG to build new businesses,” Sokwoo Rhee, LG Electronics senior vice president of innovation and head of LG NOVA, said in a statement. “In this third year, we’ve created a new process that will enable us to be more agile at addressing changing market needs and launching solutions that address real-world problems to drive transformational change for a better tomorrow.”
As part of its efforts to promote innovation and collaboration, the Mission for the Future initiative will expand its scope by facilitating idea sharing and collaboration with the wider innovation community. This includes discussions and networking opportunities at the LG NOVA Innovation Festival taking place in San Francisco today.

Concert tickets are more expensive than ever. Inflation, Ticketmaster’s monopolistic practices, and increased demand after COVID-related touring delays have coincided to create a perfect storm of ticket-buying agony. Tours were never accessible to everyone: Geography, economics, health and safety concerns, and physical or mental ability make stadium and arena concerts — held only in major metropolitan areas, and only in certain countries — infeasible and/or unaffordable for large swaths of global pop music fandom. As fandom’s role as a source of identity and community becomes more precious, and more people than ever want to see certain concerts, the barriers to attending live shows are rising — so it’s no wonder that concert films are finding expansive new footing.
