LG Group revealed plans to invest 100 trillion won ($74.21 billion), while Hyundai Motor Group pledged to invest 68 trillion won into new growth businesses, according to the two conglomerates, Wednesday.
수요일 두 재벌에 따르면 LG그룹은 100조원(742억 천만달러)을 투자할 계획을 밝혔고 현대 자동차그룹은 신성장 사업에 68조원을 투자하기로 약속했다.

Their plans reflect a determined effort to maintain a competitive edge in the increasingly challenging technological landscape marked by escalating threats of trade protectionism and geopolitical instability.
그들의 계획은 보호무역주의와 지정학적 불안정의 위협으로 점철되는 점점 더 도전적인 기술 환경에서 경쟁력을 유지하려는 단호한 노력을 반영한다.

Under its ambitious drive, LG Group has unveiled an extensive investment roadmap for the next five years. It plans to allocate 100 trillion won ($74.21 billion) in Korea by 2028, strategically positioning itself to secure competitive advantages in next-generation growth sectors such as artificial intelligence (AI), biotechnology, batteries, and vehicle components. This substantial investment represents 65 percent of the group's total global investment.
야심찬 추진력 아래, LG그룹은 향후 5년간의 광범위한 투자 로드맵을 발표했다. LG그룹은 인공지능(AI), 생명공학, 배터리, 자동차 부품과 같은 차세대 성장 분야에서 경쟁 우위를 확보하기 위해 전략적으로 2028년까지 한국에 100조원(742억1000만달러)을 배정할 계획이다. 이 실질적인 투자는 그룹 전체 글로벌 투자의 65%에 해당한다.

“LG aims to solidify its core competitiveness in key burgeoning industries and transform them into the company's primary growth drivers moving forward,” LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo said in a written greeting message during the group’s regular shareholders’ meeting.
구광모 LG그룹 회장은 이날 그룹 정기 주주총회에서 서면 인사말을 통해 "LG는 급성장하는 핵심 산업에서 핵심 경쟁력을 공고히 하고, 이를 앞으로 회사의 주력 성장동력으로 탈바꿈시키는 것을 목표로 하고 있다"고 밝혔다.

Of particular significance is LG's allocation of 55 percent of the investment toward enhancing its research and development capabilities, with a particular focus on developing key materials and building smart factories.
LG가 투자금의 55%를 연구개발 역량 강화에 배정한 것은 특히 핵심소재 개발과 스마트공장 구축에 초점을 맞춘 것이다.

The LG chief also underscored plans to make larger investments in next-generation cash-cow sectors, including AI, biotechnology, and clean technology.
LG 회장은 또한 AI, 생명공학 및 청정 기술을 포함한 차세대 캐시카우 부문에 더 많은 투자를 할 계획임을 강조했다.

“We will transform them into the key pillars of our next major business portfolios,” he said. Koo also highlighted LG's commitment to fostering group-wide collaboration to seek out future business opportunities, despite the challenges posed by the current economic slowdown and escalating geopolitical uncertainties.
"우리는 그것들을 우리의 다음 주요 사업 포트폴리오의 핵심 축으로 바꿀 것입니다"라고 그는 말했다. 구 회장은 또한 현재의 경제 둔화와 증가하는 지정학적 불확실성으로 인한 도전에도 불구하고 미래의 사업 기회를 찾기 위해 그룹 전체의 협력을 촉진하겠다는 LG의 의지를 강조했다.

On the same day, Hyundai Motor also shared its plan to invest 68 trillion won by 2026, while directly creating 80,000 jobs domestically. The automaker's objective is to enhance its global footprint in future mobility through aggressive investments in areas such as electrification, software-defined vehicles (SDV), autonomous driving, and robotics.
이날 현대 자동차도 2026년까지 68조원을 투자하고, 국내 일자리 8만개를 직접 창출하겠다는 계획을 공유했다. 전기화, 소프트웨어 정의 차량(SDV), 자율주행, 로봇공학 등의 분야에 대한 공격적인 투자를 통해 미래 모빌리티 분야에서 글로벌 입지를 강화하겠다는 것이다.

The investment averages 22.7 trillion won annually for the next three years, marking a nearly 30 percent increase from the previous year. Additionally, the automaker anticipates the investment to contribute to the creation of 118,000 jobs in the nation's vehicle component industry.
이 투자는 향후 3년간 연평균 22.7조 원으로 전년 대비 30% 가까이 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 또한, 자동차 회사는 이 투자가 국내 자동차 부품 산업에서 11.8만 개의 일자리를 창출하는 데 기여할 것으로 기대하고 있다.

The world’s third-largest automaker in terms of sales will allocate 35.3 trillion won to enhance its overall research infrastructure and expand electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing plants. The company also plans to spend 31.1 trillion won to reinforce its competitiveness in key growth areas, including SDVs, electrification and battery technologies.
매출액 기준 세계 3위 자동차회사는 전체 연구 인프라 강화와 전기차(EV) 제조공장 증설에 35조3,000억원을 배정한다. SDV, 전력화, 배터리 기술 등 핵심 성장 분야 경쟁력 강화에도 31조1,000억원을 투입할 계획이다.

“By 2030, Hyundai Motor Group will expand its EV lineup to 31 models and increase annual EV production capacity in Korea to 1.51 million units,” a spokesman for the automaker said. “In the field of SDVs, Hyundai Motor and Kia are fully committed to realizing their group-wide vision for future mobility, seamlessly interconnected through innovative software solutions.”
현대차 관계자는 "현대 자동차그룹은 2030년까지 EV 라인업을 31개 모델로 확대하고 국내 연간 EV 생산능력을 151만대까지 늘릴 것,"이라며 "SDV 분야에서 현대 자동차와 기아는 혁신적인 소프트웨어 솔루션을 통해 원활하게 상호 연결된 미래 모빌리티에 대한 그룹 차원의 비전을 실현하는 데 전적으로 전념하고 있다."고 말했다.

The group is poised to invest 4.6 trillion won into its Global Business Center (GBC) project, situated in Seoul's bustling commercial district of Samseong-dong. The project entails the construction of two 50-story skyscrapers, along with four additional buildings dedicated to cultural and convenience facilities.
이 그룹은 서울의 번화한 상업지구인 삼성동에 위치한 GBC 프로젝트에 4조 6천억 원을 투자할 태세이다. 이 프로젝트는 문화 및 편의 시설 전용 건물 4개와 함께 50층짜리 초고층 건물 2개를 건설하는 것을 수반한다.

“After completion, the GBC is expected to attract a large number of tourists and create jobs as a core space in Seoul’s international complex,” the official said.
이 관계자는 "준공 후 GBC는 많은 관광객을 유치하고 서울국제복합도시의 핵심공간으로 일자리 창출이 기대된다"고 말했다.
