KEY FACTS

- Nvidia expanded its sovereign AI ecosystem cooperation with South Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT, covering chips, data centers, and talent.
- Samsung Electronics expanded its partnership with Nvidia, using accelerated computing to advance materials research, process development, and device engineering.
- Kakao Mobility is advancing L4 autonomous driving development in Seoul's Gangnam district based on Nvidia's autonomous driving platform.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION
South Korea has turned sovereign AI from a slogan into a multi-party collaboration network: the government provides policy, Samsung, LG, Hyundai, and Kakao provide use cases, and Nvidia provides computing power and the software stack. A notable signal is that South Korean domestic NPU vendors have been included in the NVLink Fusion ecosystem, both leveraging Nvidia and retaining an entry point for self-developed chips. For Chinese readers, this is a sample of regional AI infrastructure bundling.
