If you’ve never heard of Naver, the company is best described as the ‘Google of Korea’ thanks to its long\-held status as the country’s most popular search engine\. Naver also operates email hosting services, maps, mobile payment, and more\. As the leading developer of AI hardware, Nvidia is always looking to expand its reach, and South Korea seems to be the place to do so\. Team Green had previously expanded in the United States, announcing a[$100 billion deal with OpenAI](https://www.pcguide.com/news/100-billion-deal-with-openai-doesnt-mean-other-customers-cant-get-gpus-says-nvidia/)– Nvidia’s top\-tier hardware remains prohibited in China due to shipping restrictions and bans\. As detailed in its[official press release](https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/naver-ai-infrastructure/), Nvidia says Naver will build AI factories on the Nvidia DSX platform at gigawatt scale, kicking off expansion at GAK Sejong, a hyperscale data center located in Sejong City, the de facto administrative capital of South Korea\. For comparison, Nvidia’s deal with OpenAI aims for 10x more compute with 10 gigawatts of AI systems\. > “Useful AI has arrived, and demand for AI factories is extraordinary\. NAVER is building AI factory infrastructure that will serve its companies, developers and industries\. With NVIDIA DSX, we can help Korea scale sovereign intelligence infrastructure for the agentic era – from AI agents to AI factories and physical AI\.” Jensen Huang, Co\-founder and CEO of NVIDIA “Useful AI has arrived” seems to have become a motto, and something we heard from Huang on stage at Computex 2026 last week as he[explained AI growth and job creation](https://www.pcguide.com/pro/news-pro/ai-taking-jobs-is-complete-nonsense-says-nvidia-ceo-as-software-engineer-numbers-are-actually-increasing/)\. Although it is starting at 55 megawatt production, the introduction of Nvidia DSX will help Naver build towards gigawatt scale and beyond\. Founder and chairman Haejin Lee says the collaboration will “serve Korea’s industries and global customers with trusted, high\-performance AI” for agents and real\-world services\. [Nvidia DSX](https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/data-center/products/dsx/)is the company’s blueprint for AI factories, providing all the tools Naver needs for expansion\. The Korean tech giant will enjoy “full\-stack AI platforms, models and software” to help advance its regional AI models\. These regional models include HyperCLOVA X, Seoul World Model, and other agentic AI services\. ---
