SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics has announced its 2022 LG NOVA Innovation Festival, a two-day in-person event that brings together startups, industry experts, investors, mentors and influencers to facilitate collaborative conversations on innovating for the future. The highly anticipated, second-annual event is spearheaded by LG NOVA, the Silicon Valley-based LG North American innovation center whose mission is to find innovative, future-impacting startups and entrepreneur communities to build, nurture and help them grow.
Taking place Sept. 7-8 in the greater San Francisco area, the event will provide learning, mentoring and discussion opportunities covering Digital Health, Metaverse/Gaming, Smart Living/Home, ESG and Open Innovation. The Innovation Festival will engage attendees in thought-provoking keynotes, deep discussions, workshops and interactive activities on these key areas of technology that impact our daily lives. Highlights will include a startup pitch competition, expert panels and dedicated networking hours.
The event headlines two inspirational innovators as keynote speakers – Marc Tarpenning, Venture Partner at Spero Ventures, Co-founder of Tesla and Dr. Mary Lou Jepsen, Founder of OpenWater, and previously Co-Founder & CTO of the One Laptop per Child.
With his fellow co-founder, Tarpenning completely revolutionized the automotive industry with the launch of Tesla Motors in 2003. At the Innovation Festival, Tarpenning will speak on his experiences from Tesla and NuvoMedia – a company that pioneered ebooks which sold to Gemstar/TV Guide in 2000.
