Korea's science minister expressed willingness to promote investments in local companies from U.S. big tech firms, ahead of his planned trip to Silicon Valley later Thursday.
The key point of the visit will be to "strengthen cooperation so that big tech companies can invest in Korea," Minister Bae Kyung-hoon told reporters after a meeting with chief executive officers (CEOs) of local telecom operators held in central Seoul.
Discussions will center on artificial intelligence (AI) cooperation and market expansion, AI data centers and semiconductors, he added.
Bae also said he plans to use the trip to promote Korea's AI ecosystem, describing the trip as a summit aimed at showing the world what K-AI is.
