US EditionNVIDIA and SK Group Build AI Factory to Drive Korea’s Manufacturing and Digital Transformation
Nvidia's supply includes 50,000 GPUs for public AI projects aiming to boost South Korea's AI ecosystem and strengthen manufacturing capabilities, the Ministry of Science said.
- On Oct. 31, South Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT and Nvidia Corp. unveiled plans to deploy up to 260,000 GPUs, with 50,000 reserved for public-sector AI projects.
- South Korea's science ministry is pursuing efforts to make the country a top AI powerhouse, building sovereign AI infrastructure with Samsung Electronics Co., Hyundai Motor Group, and SK Group, Bae Kyung-hoon stated.
- Nvidia's Blackwell chips underpin deployments as SK Group uses RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell server chips in Asia's first industrial AI cloud to support robotics, manufacturing and autonomous driving.

- Looking ahead, company officials point to strong demand over the coming months, as Nvidia's momentum is clear with its $5 trillion valuation and South Korea's AI initiatives.
