How Nvidia’s Partnership Strengthens South Korea’s AI Infrastructure
Under this expanded collaboration, Hyundai Motor Group, Samsung, SK Group, and Naver will gain access to Nvidia’s cutting-edge GPUs and AI platforms to accelerate smart manufacturing, data center efficiency, and AI model development. South Korea’s government will allocate 50,000 GPUs to build national AI models and a massive AI data hub — a strategic move to boost domestic AI research and independence from foreign tech ecosystems.
Samsung and Nvidia Unite for AI Megafactory and 6G Innovation
In one of the most significant announcements, Samsung revealed plans to build an AI Megafactory in partnership with Nvidia. This futuristic facility will use Nvidia Omniverse and AI-RAN technology for 6G, optimizing semiconductor, robotics, and mobile production with predictive AI systems. The goal: create a fully intelligent production network that learns and improves in real time — a move expected to revolutionize South Korea’s manufacturing sector.
What This Means for Hyundai, SK, and Naver’s AI Future
Beyond hardware, the partnership opens doors for Hyundai’s AI-driven mobility innovations, SK’s next-gen data analytics, and Naver’s AI foundation models. Each company will leverage Nvidia’s GPUs to build industry-specific AI ecosystems — from autonomous vehicles and smart factories to generative AI and digital twins. Analysts say this collaboration cements South Korea as a top-tier AI hub rivaling the U.S. and Japan.
