Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, is delivering a speech at the final special session of the APEC CEO Summit held on the 31st at Gyeongju Arts Center in Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk.

On October 31, Nvidia released a three-minute and sixteen-second video on YouTube titled "Korea's Next Industrial Revolution."

Narrated in Korean with English subtitles, the video opens with the statement, "The Republic of Korea, the country that achieved the Miracle on the Han River. Through your determination and sacrifice, you accomplished not just reconstruction, but the fastest industrialization in history." It continues, "From small workshops to large-scale factories, you have built the Korea of today. Through steel, semiconductors, electronics, shipbuilding, automobiles, and technology, you have made Korea a household name around the world."

Furthermore, as the AI revolution unfolds, the video notes that Korea is building AI infrastructure following its achievements in semiconductors: "From Samsung, Hyundai, and SK to Naver and LG-digital twins, smart robots, smart factories. From the industrial revolution to the AI revolution, Korea is creating a new future." Nvidia concluded the video by saying, "It is an honor to be able to join you."

"From the Industrial Revolution to the AI Revolution... A New Future"

Nvidia has agreed to prioritize the supply of up to 260,000 GPUs, worth as much as 14 trillion won, to Korea, elevating its AI partnership with the country to the level of an "alliance." This is more than five times the number of Nvidia GPUs currently in Korea (45,000 units), enough to operate more than two state-of-the-art hyperscale data centers simultaneously.

In a global environment where every country desires GPU supplies, Nvidia's decision to choose Korea was largely influenced by the country's robust value chain spanning semiconductors, manufacturing, telecommunications, gaming, and AI startups, as well as the fact that Korea is a market capable of translating AI infrastructure into real-world industries.
