Cooperation with SK Announced, Attention on Potential Samsung Collaboration

Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, will meet with Jeon Younghyun, President and Head of the Device Solutions (DS) Division (Vice Chairman) at Samsung Electronics, on June 8.

On June 7, during a dinner meeting with Tae-won Chey, Chairman of SK Group, and SK Group executives at the Kanbu Chicken Samsung branch in Gangnam, Seoul, Huang spoke to the press and confirmed the meeting. When asked by reporters, "Are you meeting the former vice chairman of Samsung tomorrow?" he replied, "Yes."

However, regarding whether he would be meeting Lee Jae-yong, Chairman of Samsung Electronics, during this visit to Korea, Huang stated, "He recently came to see me in California, and we had a wonderful dinner together," indicating that a meeting would not take place during this trip. It has been reported that Chairman Lee is currently on an overseas business trip. The 'Hyungnim Meeting' between Huang and major conglomerate leaders, which took place on June 5, was attended by Chairman Chey, Koo Kwang-mo, Chairman of LG Group, and Lee Hae-jin, Founder of Naver, among others.

During the meeting with Vice Chairman Jeon, Huang is expected to discuss cooperation in areas such as HBM (high-bandwidth memory), memory, and digital twin technology. Samsung Electronics is a major partner supplying HBM to NVIDIA. Following HBM3E (5th generation), the next-generation AI accelerator 'Vera Rubin' is also expected to be equipped with HBM4 (6th generation). Samsung Electronics is internally developing humanoid robots and digital twin technology through its subsidiaries Rainbow Robotics and the Future Robot Task Force. According to industry sources, Samsung Electronics is also conducting research on related technologies using NVIDIA's platform. As a result, there is growing attention on whether full-scale collaboration between the two companies will begin.

Meanwhile, Huang has announced a whirlwind schedule for tomorrow, meeting with leaders of major Korean conglomerates. His first meeting in the morning will be with Chairman Chey at SK's headquarters. He will then move to the LG Twin Towers in Yeouido to meet Koo Kwang-mo, Chairman of LG Group, and Ryu Jae-cheol, CEO of LG Electronics, along with other key executives. After that, he will visit Seoul National University, Hyundai Motor Group's Yangjae headquarters, and Naver's office, where he is scheduled to meet Euisun Chung, Executive Chair of Hyundai Motor Group, and Lee Hae-jin, Founder of Naver, continuing his busy itinerary.
