LG CNS has entered into a co-investment agreement with investment firm General Atlantic, aiming to explore and invest in global enterprises within the technology sector. The agreement was signed on September 24 at General Atlantic's headquarters in New York, with LG CNS President Hyun Shin-kyun and General Atlantic Co-President Martin Escobari, alongside other senior executives from both companies, attending the ceremony to discuss collaboration plans.
The companies plan to reveal the exact investment size and terms for each target company individually, once the targets are finalized. The partnership centers on merging LG CNS's operational expertise with General Atlantic's investment acumen. General Atlantic, a major investment firm with $130 billion (approximately 175 trillion won) in assets under management as of June 30, 2026, and a global reach in 20 countries, will identify promising enterprise technology companies.
Leveraging over 45 years of experience in technology investments, General Atlantic will identify prospective companies for LG CNS to invest in.
The primary objective of this investment is to broaden LG CNS's business portfolio by moving beyond its traditional IT services focus and securing software assets with intellectual property. This will bolster a stable, recurring revenue model based on licensing and subscriptions. The acquired technological capabilities will be utilized alongside the company's existing AX business as a foundation for global market expansion.
A key focus of this agreement is securing a leading position in the emerging agentic AI market, where integration with enterprise software that manages core data and business processes is crucial for AI to independently assess and execute corporate tasks. LG CNS President Hyun Shin-kyun emphasized, "Securing enterprise software that handles a company's core operations and data is an important momentum that will determine future growth." He added, "We will work with General Atlantic to create new customer value."
