Nvidia is expanding its business in South Korea with a series of agreements aimed at building artificial-intelligence infrastructure. Multiple outlets report that the company is partnering with South Korean technology and telecommunications companies to support large-scale data center and AI-factory–style projects that integrate end-to-end systems for collecting and processing data. The deals include plans for construction of new AI-related facilities and efforts to strengthen Nvidia’s presence across the AI ecosystem in Asia.
The Wall Street Journal and other sources describe Nvidia’s focus on teaming with leading local firms to grow its data-center footprint. South China Morning Post highlights Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s recent trip to Seoul and identifies a major agreement with SK Telecom involving AI infrastructure that includes factories. Other coverage also points to Nvidia’s broader expansion activities beyond data centers, including partnerships tied to robotics and chip design, as well as AI infrastructure development.
Across the reports, the common thread is that Nvidia’s South Korean agreements are structured to support long-term scaling of AI compute capacity and related industrial capabilities, with specific projects varying by partner and scope.
