“when we started in the business, it was unclear if the industry would go to that path,” he says. “when we started, having connectivity inside your car was a luxury, rare feature. today, over 90% of new cars on the market have 4g and 5g, and so you need to set up a modem and order connectivity with the antenna inside the car.

“the next big area is infotainment. lge has been a key supplier for the computer and the software to run those infotainment system. we provide those navigation systems, the integration, voice assistant and so on.

“we have been working with partners such as google and android to bring their products to the automotive market. we also have the adas solution that is currently the main focus in cabin monitoring. when you have the car driving on the highway without touching the wheel, the camera will check that the driver is still paying attention.

“and so you need the camera system, but you need also the ai system to determine this. you need to have the eye-tracking solution for that as well to make sure that the driver is watching the world.

“then we have what we call hmi, or human machine interface. we are always trying to work with the oem to push the boundaries of what we can do in terms of display and ****pit interior, as well as in terms of the solution for them to bring those innovations to their customers,” adds janiaut.

Driving forward with partner ecosystem

An essential element in the company’s growth has been its partner ecosystem. This spans the global automotive industry and includes the likes of Mercedes Benz, BMW, Volkswagen, Audi, Bently, Porsche, JLR, Jaguar, Land Rover, Renault Group, Citroen, Ford, GM, Chevrolet, Honda, Toyota, Nissan and Hyundai.

Historically, LGE’s first projects in the automotive sector were with fellow Korean firms Hyundai and Kia. GM and Renault are also long-term partners customer that are still very strong.

Janiaut offers a particular focus on the Renault Mégane, which is currently using Android-based LGE products: “If you buy a car today, there is a very high chance that there will be an LGE product, whether it’s a display or telematics, inside the car.

“So, if you have access to internet in your car, it’s very likely that it’s thanks to LGE – or, if you have a navigation system in your car, it’s very likely an LGE product. We work with basically every OEM in this industry, and we have made strong relationships with most of the largest group in this industry.”

Almost invariably, partnership projects begin with connectivity. Janiaut notes that currently around 93% to 95% of cars are essentially connected devices.

Schroders’ Roche adds PureTech Health

Schroders’ Jean Roche has picked up a stake in PureTech Health (PRTC) as it makes impressive headway in schizophrenia medication.

Roche confirmed that she had added the biotech company to her £236m Schroder UK Mid Cap (SCP) investment trust in its annual results late last year.

Roche, who runs the trust with Andy Brough, noted the group’s $400m in net cash relative to its market cap of $470m and its recent drug approvals.

‘The US Food and Drug Administration recently approved the company’s schizophrenia medication which is a huge step forward for treatment in this area and the first new drug in more than 50 years,’ she said.

‘Not only does this trigger a milestone payment for PureTech but more importantly shows the quality of the company’s drug development.’

Despite Roche’s bullish stance, shares in PureTech have fallen more than 31% over the past 12 months. On Friday, shares were trading down slightly at 136.2p

Gold prices jumped in Asian trading on Friday, hovering near record highs, as the dollar weakened following U.S. President Donald Trump's call for immediate interest rate cuts, while looming tariff uncertainties further bolstered bullion's safe-haven appeal.

Spot Gold rose 0.7% to $2,773.91 per ounce to its highest level since late October, and was slightly shy of the record high of $2,790.41.

Gold Futures expiring in February gained 0.6% to $2,781.39 an ounce by 00:21 ET (05:21 GMT).

The yellow metal was set to gain nearly 3% this week as the dollar faced downward pressure from the gradual imposition of U.S. tariffs and Trump’s rate cut demand.

Trump’s rate-cut demand pushes gold higher

In his address to the World Economic Forum in Davos, President Donald Trump called for OPEC and other oil-producing nations to reduce oil prices and urged global central banks to lower interest rates.

Gold tends to rise on lower interest rates because it becomes a more attractive investment relative to interest-bearing assets.

Yes, gold motoring. Currency debasement on the horizon

Tamboran Resources Corporation Managing Director and CEO, Joel Riddle, said:

“We are excited to commence the stimulation program for the SS-2H ST1 and SS-3H wells in the Beetaloo Basin with Liberty Energy's modern stimulation equipment. The increased horsepower of this equipment is expected to deliver a step change in stimulation efficiency and proppant intensity compared to previous wells completed in the Basin.

“This stimulation campaign is planned to be the largest in the Beetaloo Basin to date, with up to 119 stages over a full lateral length of 15,193 feet (~4,631 meters) across the two wells, an average of ~127 feet per stimulated stage.

“Importantly, these wells are planned to be among the first to provide reliable energy to the Northern Territory, with production expected to feed into the proposed 40 MMcf/d Shenandoah South Pilot Project.

“We have successfully undertaken stimulation programs during the wet season in the Basin over the last two years, with campaigns at Amungee 2H (2022/23) and Shenandoah South 1H (2023/24). This experience gives us confidence in our ability to safely and efficiently conduct these operations year-round.”

Tamboran has commenced stimulation activities of the Shenandoah South 2H sidetrack (SS-2H ST1) and 3H (SS-3H) wells in Beetaloo Basin exploration permit EP 98.

• The Company is planning to pump up to 119 stimulation stages across the two wells with reduced spacing between stages. The SS-2H ST1 well is planned to include 43 stages over a 5,427-foot (1,654-metre) horizontal section and the SS-3H well is planned to include 76 stages over a 9,766-foot (2,977-metre) horizontal section.

• The campaign is being conducted with the Liberty Energy (NYSE: LBRT) modern stimulation equipment, which is the first 80,000 hydraulic horsepower (HHP) frac spread imported into the Beetaloo Basin from the US.

• The increased horsepower from the Liberty equipment is expected to result in a >25% increase in proppant intensity of >2,800 pounds per foot, as compared with Shenandoah South 1H well. All stages are being pumped with a slickwater fluid design
