SK Group and Nvidia Announce Multi-Billion Dollar Partnership to Develop AI Infrastructure
South Korea-based SK Group has entered into a $500 billion partnership with Nvidia aimed at building advanced AI infrastructure. The collaboration includes the construction of AI factories, co-development of next-generation AI memory, and deployment of high-bandwidth memory (HBM4) from SK hynix. SK Telecom will build a 2GW AI cloud in South Korea using Nvidia's DSX platform and Vera Rubin accelerated computing technology. The partnership is designed to meet growing global demand for compute power driven by the expansion of AI applications, particularly across Asia-Pacific markets like South Korea. The first facility under this initiative is expected to start operations in 2027. SK hynix will work closely with Nvidia on long-term supply and optimization of next-gen memory solutions. This deal builds upon a longstanding relationship between SK Group and Nvidia and follows recent agreements involving other major Korean firms like Naver, Doosan, LG, and Brookfield to expand AI infrastructure in the region.
