NVIDIA and Korea broaden sovereign AI partnership

NVIDIA and Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) are expanding their collaboration across semiconductors, data center infrastructure, talent development, startups, models, agents and security. The effort aims to strengthen Korea’s sovereign AI ecosystem through infrastructure work and support for technical skills.

The collaboration lays the groundwork for Korean NPU and XPU companies to explore participation in NVIDIA’s NVLink Fusion ecosystem. It also includes training and certification programs, hackathons and technical seminars designed to improve GPU utilization.

Under Korea’s AI for All initiative, NVIDIA will work with three selected consortia and four leading Korean foundation model builders. The participants will use NVIDIA Dynamo software to optimize and scale AI inference.

Separately, NVIDIA announced a collaboration with SK Telecom and Rebellions, supported by MSIT, to advance sovereign AI infrastructure for Korean models and workloads using NVLink Fusion.
