Industry sources disclosed on Thursday that NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang is scheduled to visit South Korea later this week for a series of meetings with major corporations and researchers, potentially paving the way for broader collaboration in the fields of artificial intelligence and robotics.

According to the sources, Huang is set to arrive at Seoul's Gimpo International Airport via private jet on Friday afternoon, commencing a four-day visit.

During his trip, Huang is expected to meet with top Korean business leaders, as well as representatives from the gaming industry, AI and robotics startups, university researchers, and students.

On Friday evening, he plans to dine at a Korean barbecue restaurant in Seoul's Seongsu-dong district, where he will meet with SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, Hyundai Motor Group Chairman Chung Euisun, LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo, and Naver Group Chairman Lee Hae-jin.

Industry observers anticipate that discussions will cover a wide range of potential collaborative areas between NVIDIA and Korean firms, including high-bandwidth memory, AI data centers, autonomous driving, robotics, and physical AI.
