This formalized partnership agreement represents years of collaboration between the two companies.
Seoul, South Korea, June 5, 2025 — In the midst of the 2025 Canadian Creative Industries Trade Mission to East Asia, Manitoban company CoPilot Co. hosted a signing ceremony with LG Electronics, a division of the fourth largest conglomerate in South Korea. During the ceremony, Austin MacKay and Reid Valmestad, co-founders of CoPilot, signed a memorandum of understanding with Kyle Yonghyun (Kare) Lee, Broadcast / Virtual Production Sales Specialist at LG Electronics.
This memorandum was one of only seven signed during the trade mission.
"In our tight-knit virtual production industry, building strong relationships is everything," said Valmestad. "This memorandum represents years of partnership and collaboration with LG and a shared vision for the future of virtual production."
CoPilot first collaborated with LG in 2023 to showcase LG's MAGNIT LED tiles at InfoComm 2023 in Florida. The relationship deepened during the 2024 Team Canada Trade Mission to South Korea, when Valmestad and MacKay visited LG's facilities. Later in 2024, CoPilot returned the favour by hosting LG at CoPilot HQ in Winnipeg.
"This formalized partnership strengthens our ability to serve clients through our network of trusted technology partners," said MacKay. "We are committed to building strategic partnerships that advance the virtual production industry; LG's dedicated to bleeding-edge LED technology aligns perfectly with our mission to redefine the future of visual storytelling."
