NAVER, NVIDIA and Brookfield to Expand Korea’s National AI Factory Infrastructure Buildout - WBOC TV

On July 24, 2026, NAVER, NVIDIA, and Brookfield announced a significant expansion of South Korea's national AI factory infrastructure. The initiative aims to scale up the NVIDIA DSX AI factory at NAVE... Read original →

This expansion of South Korea's AI factory infrastructure marks a pivotal moment in the global AI infrastructure race. The integration of NVIDIA DSX with NAVER's GAK Sejong data center will accelerate the deployment of 3nm and EUV chips in AI training environments, propelling the adoption of next-gen architectures like Blackwell and Vera Rubin. This move bolsters South Korea’s domestic AI ecosystem while reshaping global data center strategies, especially affecting U.S.-based semiconductor supply chains. From a policy standpoint, the initiative creates friction with U.S. export controls, potentially triggering supply chain realignment. Competitors like AMD and Intel may expedite investments in South Korea to capture sovereignty AI compute markets. Over the next 12–24 months, this model could become a global template for sovereign AI infrastructure, fostering a new paradigm of regional compute autonomy.
