LG Uplus is joining the Catena-X automotive data ecosystem to help South Korean manufacturers exchange supply-chain information with global partners. In a report published on Friday, Nov. 13, 2026, The Herald Business said LG Uplus had signed a memorandum of understanding with Catena-X, Cofinity-X and IBCT.

Linking Korean suppliers globally

The initiative is designed to help domestic manufacturers send and receive information under common standards used in international supply chains. The planned data includes carbon-emissions figures, production records and component traceability information.

Catena-X has expanded primarily across Europe, while Cofinity-X operates its ecosystem and supports companies joining the network. IBCT will contribute domestic data-space expertise as the partners work to connect Korea's K-Data Space initiative with international platforms.

Initial focus on automotive manufacturing

The four organizations plan to expand Korean participation in Catena-X, apply its standards to domestic manufacturing, link domestic and overseas supply-chain participants and identify local use cases. LG Uplus said the first applications will center on automakers and parts suppliers, with other manufacturing industries to follow.

For investors, the agreement points to an effort to extend LG Uplus's enterprise business beyond traditional connectivity. The commercial contribution will depend on the adoption of the planned data services and on the partners' ability to turn the framework into operating use cases.
