SEOUL, South Korea and HAIPHONG, Vietnam, Oct. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Innotek (CEO Moon Hyuksoo, 011070) announced on October 2 that it had hosted OPTECHCON (Optics Tech Conference) at its subsidiary in Haiphong, Vietnam, aimed at attracting top talent in the optical R&D sector.
First launched in 2023, OPTECHCON is a signature initiative of LG Innotek designed to engage and recruit promising researchers and engineers in the field of optics. The event aims to proactively secure outstanding graduates who can contribute to optical technology advancement and cutting-edge innovation.
This marks the first time OPTECHCON has been hosted by an LG Innotek overseas subsidiary. An LG Innotek official explained, "We organized this event in Vietnam to further strengthen our optical solutions business following the completion of our new Vietnamese plant as well as actively recruit outstanding R&D talent who will contribute to advancing our technological capabilities."
A total of 80 people participated in the OPTECHCON event, including students and faculty members from leading universities in central and northern Vietnam, such as Vietnam National University (VNU), Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST), University of Danang, and Hue University.
LG Innotek's leadership team, including CTO S. David Roh(Senior vice president) and CHO Lee Dong-hoon(vice president), visited Vietnam to present to prospective talent the company's industry-leading optical solutions, vision for innovation, and corporate culture.
Local staff at LG Innotek's Vietnamese subsidiary shared insights into their projects and R&D experiences, engaging actively with the talented students invited to the event.
The event was also attended by Honorary Professor Park Seung Han, former Executive Vice President for Research Affairs at Yonsei University and the 28th president of the Optical Society of Korea. He delivered a lecture on the current trends in and future prospects of optical technology.
Team leader Đỗ Đình Hùng, who joined the company in 2018, said, "This is a rare opportunity to build a development career at a world-class optical solutions company in Vietnam. While working hard alongside colleagues who share the vision of strengthening LG Innotek's leadership in the global camera module market, I have grown both professionally and personally."
Nguyễn Phương Anh, a third-year student at Hanoi University of Science and Technology who attended the event, said, "It was very meaningful to hear about the current trends in technology from various optics experts. The lectures, product exhibitions, and research center tour allowed me to experience LG Innotek's technology and organizational culture and helped me envision my future career with the company."
Meanwhile, LG Innotek has completed the capacity expansion at its new V3 plant in Haiphong, Vietnam, covering 150,000m2, and has commenced operations there. With the V3 plant now online, the company's production capacity in Vietnam has more than doubled.
LG Innotek has implemented a dual production site strategy in Korea and Vietnam to internalize the entire process from the development to the production of its optical products. This approach aims to accelerate improvements in cost competitiveness in the optical solutions market.
Lee Dong-hoon, CHO, stated, "The Vietnam subsidiary will serve as a key strategic base for LG Innotek's global growth, playing a crucial role in driving sustainable development.

LG Innotek Accelerates Recruitment of Optical Talent in Vietnam
LG Innotek Accelerates Recruitment of Optical Talent in Vietnam
SINGAPORE, Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Coda, a global leader in digital content monetization, today announced that it is integrating Unity's In‑App Purchasing (IAP) SDK with Coda's global web store platforms. This collaboration offers developers a single place to manage and optimize their entire digital catalog across mobile, web, and PC - directly through Unity's existing IAP workflow.
With just a few lines of code, developers can launch secure, branded web stores powered by Coda - offering players more ways to purchase securely while improving their margins.
The integration is powered by Coda's Merchant of Record (MoR) solution, which is already trusted by leading publishers and fast-growing studios worldwide. As the legal seller in each market, Coda manages payments, fraud prevention, tax remittance, invoicing, and compliance across more than 70 markets and over 400 payment methods. This gives developers more time to focus on the game and the player experience.
"As the games industry moves beyond closed ecosystems, developers of every size want more flexibility and control over how they grow," said Shane Happach, CEO of Coda. "Our integration with Unity's IAP SDK gives creators more choice in how they launch and operate their own stores, wherever their players are, minus the complexity of managing global payments or compliance. This reflects Coda's commitment to democratizing game development and helping every studio, large or small, succeed on their own terms."
As web-based purchasing becomes a more practical part of developers' business mix, interest in direct-to-consumer web stores continues to grow. Today, these channels already account for roughly 26% of mobile gaming revenue in East and Southeast Asia, according to research from Niko Partners and Coda.
First-party web stores give developers greater control over pricing, promotions, and player communication, but introduce operational complexity across payments, compliance, fraud, and support. Coda removes these barriers with a scalable payments and risk platform, integrated directly into Unity's workflow.
Coda's integration with Unity's IAP sets a new D2C standard by bringing out-of-app monetization into developers' existing workflows, removing operational complexity, and making it easier to run web stores at a global scale.
