Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s<\/a> travel itinerary is becoming a guide to the biggest winners in AI. His latest stop: South Korea.<\/p>\n

The Nvidia chief was expected to arrive in Seoul on Friday for his second visit in seven months, a sign of how central the country has become to the AI boom.<\/p>\n

The celebrity-style schedule follows Huang’s appearance at Computex in Taiwan, the global hub of advanced chip manufacturing. It also reflects a growing reality for Nvidia.<\/p>\n

“Nvidia’s dependence on Korea has deepened,” Jeff Kim, an analyst at KB Securities, wrote in a note this week.<\/p>\n

As one of the world’s largest producers of memory chips, South Korea has emerged as a major beneficiary of the AI boom.<\/p>\n

In May, the country’s semiconductor exports surged nearly 170% to a record high, helping drive South Korea’s strongest export growth in more than four decades.<\/p>\n

The country’s chip champions have also helped fuel a red-hot stock-market rally.<\/p>\n

South Korea’s benchmark Kospi stock index has nearly doubled this year, while Samsung Electronics<\/a> and SK Hynix<\/a> each topped $1 trillion in market value last month on the AI rush.<\/p>\n

But Huang’s trip to South Korea isn’t just about memory chips.<\/p>\n

At Computex earlier this week, Huang highlighted robotics as a major area for future cooperation with South Korea.<\/p>\n

As Nvidia increasingly looks for manufacturing partners that can help commercialize AI applications, “Korea, which has developed large-scale manufacturing infrastructure, is emerging as an ideal testbed,” wrote Kim.<\/p>\n

Huang’s latest trip will be closely watched by investors. A website tracking his expected itinerary in South Korea has already attracted over 90,000 views as of Friday afternoon, local time.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, shares of LG Electronics<\/a> and Samsung Electronics jumped on reports that the Nvidia chief was headed to South Korea.<\/p>\n

During his last trip to Seoul in October, Huang was photographed eating fried chicken and beer<\/a> with Samsung Chairman Lee Jae-yong and Hyundai Motor Executive Chair Chung Euisun.<\/p>\n

The meeting generated a wave of media coverage and helped send shares of several Korean fried chicken chains soaring by as much as 30%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s travel itinerary is becoming a guide to the biggest winners in AI.
