NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang is set to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CEO Summit in South Korea from October 28 to 31, where he will meet global leaders and top Korean executives to advance discussions on artificial intelligence (AI) and innovation. The U.S. chipmaker confirmed that Huang will participate in events highlighting NVIDIA’s role in driving technological growth through AI, robotics, digital twins, and autonomous vehicles.

During his visit, Huang is expected to hold meetings with senior executives from Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, two major South Korean memory chip manufacturers whose products play a vital role in AI data centers worldwide. While Samsung declined to comment on the scheduled meeting, SK Hynix was not immediately available for remarks. These discussions could further strengthen NVIDIA’s partnerships in the semiconductor supply chain, especially as demand for AI computing power continues to surge globally.

The APEC CEO Summit runs parallel to the annual APEC leaders’ meeting, which gathers heads of state from 21 member economies. Among them, U.S. President Donald Trump recently announced plans to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping during the event, signaling a potential breakthrough in trade negotiations between the two nations. This meeting comes amid growing trade tensions that have affected key tech companies, including NVIDIA. Just last month, China accused the chipmaker of violating its anti-monopoly laws, marking another escalation in the ongoing U.S.-China trade dispute.

Huang’s visit underscores NVIDIA’s commitment to expanding its footprint in Asia and fostering technological collaboration in emerging industries. As the global race for AI leadership intensifies, the outcomes of these meetings in South Korea could shape future partnerships and influence the trajectory of the semiconductor and AI sectors.
