Jensen Huang, CEO of U.S. chipmaker Nvidia Corp., will visit South Korea from Friday for a four-day trip focused on expanding AI and robotics partnerships. He arrives at Gimpo International Airport in Seoul after attending Computex in Taipei, with plans to meet with leaders from South Korean conglomerates, gaming companies, and research institutions. Huang’s itinerary includes a Friday evening dinner with SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chair Euisun Chung, LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo, and Naver Chairman Lee Hae-jin. Discussions will cover high-bandwidth memory (HBM), AI data centers, autonomous driving, and physical AI, building on his October visit, where he joined Samsung and Hyundai executives for a late-night Korean fried chicken meal. On Sunday, Huang will meet with NC Corp. CEO Kim Taek-jin to explore gaming and AI collaborations. Monday will feature a closed-door session with South Korean AI and robotics startup founders, marking his first such meeting in the country, alongside visits to Seoul National University’s AI institute and robotics research center.
