NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) is joining forces with the South Korean government and leading technology companies to accelerate the nation’s artificial intelligence infrastructure. The initiative will deploy more than 260,000 NVIDIA GPUs across sovereign AI clouds and industrial AI factories, cementing South Korea’s position as a global AI powerhouse.
The Ministry of Science and ICT is spearheading the project by investing in sovereign AI systems, with plans to install up to 50,000 of NVIDIA’s latest GPUs through the National AI Computing Center and major Korean cloud providers such as NAVER Cloud, NHN Cloud, and Kakao Corp.
Top South Korean corporations are also driving large-scale AI investments. Samsung Electronics is developing an advanced AI factory equipped with over 50,000 GPUs to boost semiconductor manufacturing and AI integration. SK Group is creating an AI factory with more than 50,000 NVIDIA GPUs, alongside Asia’s first industrial AI cloud powered by NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs.

NAVER Cloud is expanding its infrastructure with over 60,000 GPUs to support enterprise and physical AI workloads.
According to NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang, Korea’s strong technology and manufacturing base position it as a key player in the global AI revolution, where computing infrastructure is as crucial as power and broadband networks.
The initiative, announced during the APEC Summit in South Korea, also includes collaborations on AI-RAN and 6G research with Samsung, SK Telecom, ETRI, KT, LGU+, and Yonsei University. Additionally, the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information is launching a Center of Excellence for quantum computing using NVIDIA’s NVQLink architecture. To foster innovation, NVIDIA and partners are also supporting local startups through the NVIDIA Inception program, providing access to cutting-edge AI tools and expertise.
