On the 15th, the Gumi City Government held a meeting titled 'AI Data Center Built Together with the Community, Regional Shared Growth Development Meeting' at City Hall with representatives from Samsung SDS and Samsung C&T, discussing ways to expand the participation of local companies in the data center construction process.

The Samsung SDS Gumi AI Data Center will be built with a capacity of 60 MW.

It is expected to serve as a core AI infrastructure linked to manufacturing, robotics, and automation industries, supporting Gumi’s transition to advanced industries.

In particular, Samsung C&T, which is responsible for construction, has agreed to not only ensure timely execution of the project but also to increase the participation of outstanding local construction companies, so that the effects of large-scale investment will lead to revitalization of the regional construction sector.

This groundbreaking is also significant as it marks the official start of Samsung Electronics and Samsung SDS’s future industry investment of 19 trillion won in Gumi.

Going forward, Gumi will see the establishment of a mass-production system for humanoid robots, AI-driven factories based on manufacturing AX, and the AI data center.

Jangho Kim, Mayor of Gumi, stated, "For large-scale corporate investments to provide real benefits to the regional economy, they must result in shared growth that is tangible for local companies and residents," urging Samsung SDS and Samsung C&T to further expand local company participation.

The key issue is whether Samsung’s AI and robotics investments will not only serve as 'the future industries of Gumi' but also translate into growth for local businesses.
