Samsung Invests $1 Billion in AI Infrastructure Firm Helix
Samsung Electronics, along with five of its affiliates, is investing $1 billion into Helix Digital Infrastructure, an artificial intelligence infrastructure company co-founded by KKR and backed by Nvidia. The investment aims to support the growing demand for AI data centers and related power generation and fiber-optic networks. Helix was launched in June 2026 with founding investors including KKR, Kuwait Investment Authority, U.S. energy firm Vistra, and tech giant Nvidia. Samsung's involvement is expected to enhance its role in global AI infrastructure development by leveraging capabilities across semiconductors, cooling systems, data center construction, and batteries. The investment adds to the over $10 billion already committed to Helix, with KKR having invested more than $75 billion globally in digital infrastructure. Samsung stated that this move will accelerate the global rollout of AI data centers and deepen collaboration among participating companies.
