Nvidia's Huang, SK Group's Chey meet in Taipei to discuss AI memory chip cooperation

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang met with SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won in Taipei, Taiwan, to discuss the future of cooperation in AI memory, SK Group said on Tuesday.

The meeting took place on Monday, according to a post on SK Group's Facebook account. Both executives visited Taiwan to attend Computex Taipei, one of Asia's largest technology trade shows.

“With SK hynix reaching a market capitalization of $1 trillion, the executives of both companies met to share the significance of the milestone,” the post said.

The gathering also provided an opportunity to reflect on the achievements that the two companies have made together in AI memory and reaffirm their commitment to opening a new chapter in AI infrastructure, the post added.

Huang earlier cited robotics as a potential area for investment in Korea ahead of his visit to the country later this week.

His trip to Seoul is expected to begin on Thursday night, according to industry sources. On Friday, Huang is expected to hold a series of meetings with the heads of major Korean conglomerates.

Among those expected to attend are Chey, LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo and Lee Hae-jin, the founder and chairman of Naver's board. Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chair Euisun Chung is also positively considering joining the discussions, the sources said.

Industry observers say the upcoming talks could extend beyond AI semiconductor cooperation to include robotics and physical AI, an emerging field focused on integrating AI with real-world machines and systems.

During his previous trip to Seoul in October 2025, which coincided with his participation in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation CEO Summit in the southeastern city of Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang, Huang drew widespread attention when he joined Samsung Electronics Executive Chairman Lee Jae-yong and Chung for a late-night meal of Korean fried chicken and beer, commonly known as “chimaek.”
