(KPL/Yonhap) Republic of Korea's LG Group has invested in Canadian lithium extraction company Summit Nanotech, as part of efforts to accelerate the group's clean tech initiatives, according to industry sources Wednesday.

According to the sources, LG Technology Ventures recently participated in a Series A funding round for Summit Nanotech.

While the exact investment amount remains undisclosed, Series A investments typically range between 2 billion won (US$1.37 million) and 10 billion won.

Founded in 2018, Summit Nanotech utilizes lithium adsorption technology and data analytics to extract lithium, which it supplies to battery manufacturers and mineral resource companies.

The investment follows LG Technology Ventures' previous Series A funding in ACT-ion, a clean tech firm specializing in the high-efficiency production of high-performance single-crystal cathode materials, late last year.

      Chinese couple runs ’first-aid stall’ for eight years to teach life-saving skills

      9/12/2025 10:53:33 AM

      In Taihe county, Fuyang, east China’s Anhui province, a unique stall has become a fixture in a local park every weekend and on public holidays. It does not sell snacks or trinkets. Instead, it displays cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) manikins and first-aid kits, inviting passersby to stop, learn, and practice essential life-saving techniques free of charge. The stall is run by Wu Lei, deputy head of the medical consortium office at Taihe County People’s Hospital, and his wife Liu Jing, head nurse of the hospital’s emergency department. For more than eight years, the couple has dedicated their spare time to this "first-aid stall," while also leading a volunteer team to schools, communities, and government offices. Together, they have helped over 100,000 people acquire life-saving skills. Wu traces the origins of their endeavor to a tragedy that still weighs heavily on him.
