LG Electronics established the Hanoi R&D Centre under its Vietnam Production Corporation in 2016, and then R&D subsidiaries in Hai Phong and Da Nang cities in 2023.

The Hanoi R&D Centre, officially incorporated in 2023, broadened its research in 2022 to include the webOS smart platform, and now the scope is expanded even further.

This year, LG also plans to increase its R&D team from 1,100 to over 1,200 employees, raising the centre's personnel by six-fold since 2019.

Within eight years since its inception, the Hanoi centre has become a key R&D hub for Southeast Asia.

LG Electronics has also implemented many talent development programmes, including a partnership with the Hanoi University of Industry, to improve local R&D capabilities.
