The AX Joint \uc5f0\uad6c\uc18c, in which L&F is participating, is an open research \ud611\ub825 model where the four major science and technology institutes and AX partner \uae30\uc5c5 from various sectors work together to solve \uacfc\uc81c in industrial settings. It aims to conduct joint research based on industrial AX demands by combining the AI talent and model development capabilities of the institutes with the industrial data and verification infrastructure of companies, thereby disseminating AX achievements across local \uc0b0\uc5c5.<\/p>\n

L&F had previously signed a bilateral business \ud611\uc57d with DGIST on January 15th to promote AX in the robot and mobility \uc0b0\uc5c5. Both parties have commenced concrete \ud611\ub825 in key areas, including the establishment and operation of joint research \uae30\uad00, AX convergence of mutually held \uae30\uc220, AX technology development and reliability verification, and on-site validation and commercialization promotion of developed technologies. By combining DGISTs excellent research \uc778\ub825 and cutting-edge infrastructure with L&Fs industrial data and field application \uacbd\ud5d8, they are focusing on securing highly reliable AX technologies in future core areas such as robotics, semiconductors, and healthcare.<\/p>\n

The two \uae30\uad00 are currently identifying specialized AX convergence research \uacfc\uc81c and exchanging domain \uc9c0\uc2dd, with plans to intensify \ud611\ub825 through the future establishment of a Joint Lab and specialized research teams. This collaboration aims to create a regionally-driven AX innovation \uc0dd\ud0dc\uacc4 and enhance the global competitiveness and brand value of local \uc0b0\uc5c5.<\/p>\n

Region-Focused \ucc44\uc6a9 and Expansion of Industry-Academia \ud611\ub825<\/h2>\n

L&F is actively pursuing region-focused \ucc44\uc6a9 and industry-academia \ud611\ub825 to foster mutual growth within Daegus industrial \uc0dd\ud0dc\uacc4. Approximately 85% of its entire \uc778\ub825 hails from the Daegu area, and the company has consistently maintained a local \uc778\uc7ac recruitment rate of over 80% since 2020. This achievement led to L&F receiving the Presidential Commendation at the Merit for Job Creation Support government \uc2dc\uc0c1 hosted by the Ministry of Employment and Labor last September.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, L&F consistently organizes recruitment \uc124\uba85\ud68c, job \ubc15\ub78c\ud68c, recruitment tours, and job mentoring \ud504\ub85c\uadf8\ub7a8 in conjunction with over 24 local universities, including Kyungpook National University, Yeungnam University, and Keimyung University. The company is also dedicated to nurturing future industrial \uc778\uc7ac through regional co-prosperity programs such as internships for the Energy Manpower Training Project and employment-linked \uacfc\uc815 in the Daegu Opportunity Development Zone.<\/p>\n

L&F is expanding tangible \ud22c\uc790 to create future growth \ub3d9\ub825 for the region, including establishing L&F Plus, a \uc790\ud68c\uc0ac dedicated to LFP cathode \uc18c\uc7ac, within the Daegu National Industrial Complex, and constructing a specialized \uacf5\uc7a5 valued at 338.2 billion KRW. This plant, with an annual production capacity of up to 60,000 tons, aims for completion in the first half of 2026 and mass production in the second half, and is expected to contribute to increased local talent recruitment and vitalization of the regional \uacbd\uc81c.<\/p>\n

Heo Je-hong, CEO of L&F, stated, As a \uae30\uc5c5 rooted in Daegu, L&F is growing together with the Daegu industrial \uc0dd\ud0dc\uacc4 through AX industry-academia \ud611\ub825, region-focused \ucc44\uc6a9, and large-scale local \ud22c\uc790. We will continue to strengthen mutual \ud611\ub825 with the region and take the lead in enhancing the global competitiveness of Daegus local \uc0b0\uc5c5.<\/p>\n

L&F, a \uc120\ub450\uc8fc\uc790 in \ud601\uc2e0 within the secondary battery \uc18c\uc7ac sector, is driving future industries through diverse mutual \ud611\ub825 and bold \ud22c\uc790.
