Nvidia has announced a series of strategic partnerships with leading South Korean technology companies as the AI chip giant seeks to strengthen its supply chain and accelerate the growth of its artificial intelligence ecosystem. The agreements, unveiled during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to South Korea, involve major industry players including SK Hynix, SK Telecom, Naver, and Doosan Group.
A key highlight of the announcement is a multi-year technology collaboration between Nvidia and SK Hynix. The partnership focuses on developing next-generation memory chips designed for global AI data centers. As demand for AI infrastructure continues to surge, advanced memory solutions have become increasingly important for supporting large-scale AI computing, robotics, AI-powered personal computers, and supercomputing platforms.
The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence has created strong demand for memory chips, contributing to higher memory prices since mid-2025. This trend has benefited major manufacturers such as SK Hynix, Samsung Electronics, and Micron, which have experienced increased revenue opportunities driven by the AI boom.
In addition to the memory partnership, SK Telecom plans to collaborate with Nvidia to develop a gigawatt-scale AI cloud infrastructure in South Korea. According to the companies, the first AI data center under the project is expected to begin operations in 2027. The initiative is aimed at strengthening the country’s position in the global AI and cloud computing market.
Naver and Doosan will also leverage Nvidia technologies to expand AI data center capabilities. Doosan, known for its robotics business and advanced materials used in semiconductor production, expects its energy technologies to play a role in future Nvidia-powered data center platforms. The company also plans to utilize Nvidia’s physical AI technology to support innovation in robotics and industrial automation.
Furthermore, Jensen Huang revealed that Nvidia is working with LG Group on projects related to humanoid robots and AI data centers. The collaboration highlights Nvidia’s broader strategy of deepening partnerships across South Korea’s technology sector while expanding its influence in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, robotics, and next-generation semiconductor technologies.
