Chairman Lee Jae-yong of Samsung Electronics returned home on the 13th after checking cooperation with major customers in Europe.

Chairman Lee arrived at the Gimpo Business Aviation Center (SGBAC) in Seoul around 12:45 p.m. that day. When asked by reporters whether he met with customers in Europe during his business trip, Chairman Lee responded briefly, "Yes," suggesting that business meetings in the region were actively held. However, when asked about how to respond to the global crisis caused by the Iran-Israel war, he left the scene without a separate answer.

Choi Joo-sun, president of Samsung SDI, accompanied the business trip. President Choi met with reporters at the arrival hall and said, "I have met with various European customers." When asked if he could expect additional orders, he replied, "I will work hard."

Samsung SDI's prismatic batteries, 46-pie cylindrical battery, and all-solid battery technology are considered the best in the industry. It has signed an MOU (business agreement) with BMW to demonstrate all-solid batteries and has continued cooperation. This is the first time among domestic battery companies to verify the performance of all-solid batteries with global finished car companies.

Samsung is also seeking to strengthen cooperation with Mercedes-Benz. Chairman Lee had a dinner with Ola Kalenius, chairman and CEO of Mercedes Benz, who visited Korea in November last year, and discussed ways to cooperate with future mobility technologies such as electronic and electrical equipment parts for vehicles. In addition, Samsung SDI has a number of European automakers, including Volkswagen, as its customers.

The industry can also expect additional orders as Chairman Lee himself went on a business trip to Europe.
