LG Electronics Inc. will provide advanced heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) solutions and artificial intelligence (AI) home solutions to the smart city under development in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, as per a report by Pulse, the English service of Maeil Business News Korea.
Strategic Partnership for Smart City Development
The company said Sunday that it signed a strategic partnership for smart city development on Wednesday with Expo City Dubai Authority, as per the Pulse report. The deal positions LG as a solutions provider across business-to-consumer, business-to-business, and business-to-government segments in the Middle East.
Building on Regional Experience
The agreement follows discussions at the Korea-UAE Business Roundtable on expanding AI technologies, applied AI services, and AI- and energy-related infrastructure.

The company plans to leverage this experience for the new project, the report added.
