NVIDIA established new partnerships in South Korea to expand global AI infrastructure. The company is collaborating with SK Telecom to build a large-scale AI Cloud data center. The first phase of this facility will launch in 2027 to support regional sovereign AI services.
NVIDIA also signed a multi-year technology partnership with memory chipmaker SK hynix. This collaboration focuses on the development and supply of advanced High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) components. These specialized chips are currently facing a global shortage due to rapid AI data center construction.
These deals highlight the strategic priority of securing both computing and memory capabilities within the AI supply chain. The announcements coincide with a broader semiconductor sector rebound following a recent sell-off. CEO Jensen Huang described the market downturn as a buying opportunity, citing confidence in long-term AI growth.
