Naver and Nvidia Expand Korea's AI Factory Infrastructure to 200 Megawatts

Naver, Nvidia (NVDA) and Brookfield (BN) announced a proposed expansion of Korea's sovereign AI factory infrastructure, with planned investments that will grow the initial Nvidia DSX AI factory deployment to 200 megawatts - more than tripling the 55-megawatt buildout announced last month. Naver intends to expand its deployment of Nvidia AI infrastructure to 1 gigawatt. Announced during Korea President Jae Myung Lee's AI Summit visit to San Francisco, the planned 200-megawatt expansion marks a significant acceleration of Korea's national AI ambitions. The expanded infrastructure will be built with the Nvidia DSX platform at Naver's GAK Sejong hyperscale data center in Sejong, South Korea. Nvidia plans to invest $1B into Naver Corp. and Brookfield plans to fund up to $9B for AI infrastructure. Naver will fund the remaining amounts to finance the project. Nvidia's planned investment is subject to customary closing conditions. The expanded infrastructure will provide Korea- and U.S.-based AI innovators with access to production-scale AI compute for building next-generation models, agents and AI-powered services.
