Speaking with reporters in Seoul, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won outlined an expanded AI partnership. This builds on a multiyear partnership announced today to codevelop memory for four NVIDIA platforms spanning AI infrastructure, personal AI and physical AI.
NVIDIA’s work with SK also extends to AI infrastructure. SK Telecom plans to build a gigawatt-scale AI Cloud in Korea using the NVIDIA DSX platform to support sovereign, physical and agentic AI services.
The event underscored the two companies’ collaboration , which is expanding to advance new opportunities across physical AI, robotics and AI factory infrastructure, spanning Doosan Robotics, Doosan Bobcat, Doosan Enerbility and Doosan Corporation Electro-Materials BG.
The collaboration will bring together NVIDIA’s full-stack accelerated computing platforms with Doosan Group’s capabilities in industrial automation, power generation and advanced electronics materials to support next-generation AI infrastructure.
On Friday in Seoul, Huang headed to T1 Base Camp — a PC bang owned by T1, one of Korea’s top esports teams. There, he met with T1’s reigning League of Legends World Champion team, including six-time World Champion Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok to unveil RTX Spark.
Today, Huang headed to Seoul’s Gangnam district, where he surprised PC-bang gamers with a first look at RTX Spark with KRAFTON and NC.
At the first stop, Optimum Zone PC, Huang and KRAFTON Chairman Byung-gyu Chang showcased PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS and Subnautica 2 on RTX Spark to a captivated crowd of gamers.
Next, Huang stopped at another PC bang, Portal PC, where he showcased NC’s CINDER CITY and AION 2 on RTX Spark, with support from Taekjin Kim, co-CEO of NC.
On the heels of GTC Taipei at COMPUTEX, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang touched down in Seoul Friday afternoon, greeted by fans and media as his visit got underway.
A key focus of the trip, Huang said: to align the AI supply chain ahead of a busy second half of the year.
“We have a very significant, very large AI infrastructure buildout — already a very successful first half,” Huang told media. “Grace Blackwell, our system, is doing very well, and Vera Rubin is in full production — so we are going to be very busy the second half [of the year].”
Huang also touched on the huge potential for robotics and physical AI in Korea.
