The potential for innovation is everywhere. Recognizing this, LG Electronics created LG NOVA, a Silicon Valley-based innovation center, tasked with creating a collaborative ecosystem to accelerate the growth of new ideas that embody LG’s innovation for a better life philosophy.
LG NOVA’s goal is to partner with startup and entrepreneur communities to scale up ideas and concepts to the next stage of development, working with them to build new businesses.

The innovation center is focused on catalyzing solutions that improve accessibility, mobility, usability and connectivity – for home, work, school and life, as well as ideas and approaches for carbon reduction and renewable energy.
Even with financial support, more than a brilliant idea is needed to ensure success. Here's where LG NOVA’s Mission for the Future Global Challenge program comes in.
Mission for the Future is a nine-month annual challenge program created to seek the best ideas, concepts and businesses that will improve quality of life in a greener, smarter, healthier, more-connected future.

The company intends to set aside up to USD 20 million to support finalists with investments, resources, funding for concept development and access to LG’s global infrastructure and supply chain to build joint businesses with LG.
