LG CNS has proudly secured the prestigious Google Cloud Partner of the Year 2026 award for Korea, marking its distinction as the sole Korean recipient of this esteemed honor this year.
Announced during Google Cloud Next 2026, this accolade celebrates partners demonstrating exceptional achievements in critical domains such as artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, infrastructure modernization, and robust security solutions. The coveted country-level “Partner of the Year” distinction is reserved for companies that consistently deliver outstanding business outcomes through the innovative application of Google Cloud’s advanced technologies.
Leveraging Google’s cutting-edge generative AI model, Gemini, alongside its powerful Vertex AI platform, LG CNS has successfully developed and deployed hundreds of transformative AI-driven services. These innovative solutions span diverse sectors including manufacturing, finance, supply chain management, and telecommunications, significantly enhancing operational efficiency and client value.
A testament to its deep collaboration, LG CNS notably co-developed a groundbreaking Gemini-based AI business model directly with Google Cloud. This strategic initiative actively supports comprehensive AI transformation projects for enterprise clients spanning the Asia-Pacific region and the Americas.
The strong alliance between LG CNS and Google Cloud commenced in September 2022, when LG CNS pioneered as the first Korean company to forge a digital transformation agreement with Google Cloud. Since then, the partnership has profoundly deepened, culminating in LG CNS achieving “Premier Partner” status – the highest and most distinguished tier within Google Cloud’s extensive partner program.
Further showcasing its expansive expertise, LG CNS also boasts professional certifications across six key domains. These include specialized credentials in Gemini Enterprise, Artificial Intelligence (AI), robust data analytics, and scalable infrastructure solutions.
