June 8 (Asia Today) -- Naver said Monday it will work with Nvidia to build a gigawatt-scale artificial intelligence factory, starting from its hyperscale data center in Sejong.
Naver founder and board Chairman Lee Hae-jin and Chief Executive Choi Soo-yeon met Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang at Naver's 1784 headquarters in Seongnam, south of Seoul, to discuss a joint business road map and global expansion strategy.
Huang greeted employees and visitors at the building, saying, "I love Naver." He also joined a Naver Webtoon event and wrote, "Don't worry! I have GPUs!" in a blank space on a display.
Naver and Nvidia said they agreed to pursue a joint project to build a large-scale global AI factory. The partnership goes beyond technology cooperation, covering demand development, investment and infrastructure construction across the value chain.
