On August 18, LG Electronics announced its participation as a major limited partner (LP) in the newly established ‘Alpha Intelligence Fund’ created by SBVA. The fund has a total size of $130 million (approximately 1.8 trillion won), with LG Electronics committing $10 million (about 138 billion won).
SBVA will focus the Alpha Intelligence Fund on startups with high growth potential in AI, deep tech, and robotics. The fund aims to leverage SBVA’s global network and resources to help these startups achieve significant growth and outcomes.
