NVIDIA and South Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT are expanding their sovereign AI collaboration across semiconductors, data center infrastructure, talent development, and foundational model optimization.
NVIDIA and South Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) have announced an expanded collaboration to bolster the nation's sovereign AI ecosystem. The initiative encompasses semiconductors, infrastructure, workforce development, foundational models, software agents, and security. Under the partnership, Korean NPU and XPU developers will explore integration into the NVIDIA NVLink Fusion ecosystem. The program also introduces NVIDIA training, certification, hackathons, and technical seminars to improve GPU utilization. Furthermore, through South Korea's "AI for All" initiative, NVIDIA plans to work with three consortia and four Korean foundation model developers using NVIDIA Dynamo software to optimize AI inference scaling. NVIDIA also announced a separate collaboration with SK Telecom and Rebellions, supported by MSIT, focused on sovereign AI infrastructure.
