NVIDIA Hosts Korean Industry Titans Before COMPUTEX in Taipei
Taylor Wilson
Nvidia is throwing a dedicated "Korea Partner Night" on the eve of COMPUTEX, inviting Samsung, SK Hynix, Hyundai Motor, and three more giants — signaling its partner map now stretches well beyond chips.
Who's on the guest list?
According to Korean outlet SBS Biz, Nvidia plans to host a "Korea Partner Night" dinner in Taipei on the evening of June 1 — the night before COMPUTEX opens.
The invitees: Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, Hyundai Motor Group, LG Electronics, Doosan, and Naver — six of Korea's biggest industrial names.
In plain terms = this is not a chip-industry side dinner. It's Nvidia pulling Korea's top industrial players to one table.
Why are automakers and robotics firms on the list?
Samsung and SK Hynix are Nvidia's core suppliers of HBM — high-bandwidth memory, the ultra-fast memory paired with AI chips. Their presence is expected.
The surprise is Hyundai Motor, LG Electronics, Doosan, and Naver — they map to autonomous driving, smart factories, industrial robotics, and AI service platforms.
This means → Nvidia's partnership network has expanded from "selling chips" to "reshaping entire industries with chips."
What does this dinner mean for Korean companies?
For Korean firms, the trip is not just a tech-expo visit. It is seen as a chance to secure a stronger position in Nvidia's next-generation AI supply chain.
The Samsung-vs-SK Hynix rivalry in HBM remains the most closely watched subplot — whoever wins more Nvidia orders leads the AI memory market.
This reflects a broader shift: Nvidia is becoming the industry's convener. Being invited to the table is itself a form of leverage.
What else are Korean firms doing at COMPUTEX 2026?
COMPUTEX 2026 runs June 2–5 in Taipei.
SK Hynix, Samsung Display, and Samsung Electronics will all have exhibition booths. LG Display is also expected to host a global client showcase starting June 4.
Put simply = Korean companies are not just showing up for dinner — they are bringing full booths, making sure global clients see their tech on Taipei's stage.
