SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won on stage dressed comfortably,
Jensen Hwang, CEO of
NVIDIA, said he looked like a Korean in his rush to everything, revealing the story they had.

[Choi Tae-won / SK Group Chairman: (HBM supply) Please advance by 6 months.... So I said I would try to pull it out for six months. To be honest, I'm a little afraid to go on more meetings now. If I go one more time, I'm afraid they'll tell me to pull it again....]

Appearing in a pleasant anecdote was SK's 6th generation HBM, which recently advanced its mass production plan to the end of next year,

This means that 6th generation is also likely to deliver Nvidia, as there was Jensen Huang in the background.

Jensen Huang also responded, saying AI could not have advanced without SK.

[Jensen Huang / NVIDIA CEO: HBM with SK Hynix and NVIDIA allowed us to continue our progress beyond the 'Law of Moore'.]

In addition to the head of TSMC, which makes Nvidia's finished AI accelerator, the three companies that make the most powerful semiconductors in the AI era are guaranteed in public.

In addition, global big tech companies such as Microsoft and Open AI continued to attack SK.

[Satya Nadella / Microsoft CEO: This is just the beginning. We look forward to continuing our partnership and building a solid AI ecosystem in Korea and around the world.]

Chairman Choi specifically pointed out the challenges to be solved ahead of the artificial intelligence era, such as the absence of profit models, a lack of semiconductor supply, and the supply and demand of huge amounts of electricity.

He then reiterated the partnership, saying there is nothing that can be solved alone.

[Choi Tae-won / SK Group Chairman: Through partnerships, we are solving problems that hit the bottle neck one by one, and some problems eventually become conceived by new technologies....]

On the same day, SKT announced a large-scale data center business plan, and Hynix also announced a new 5th generation HBM product plan that was not scheduled.

In the era of artificial intelligence, where national investment is inevitable, global big tech companies are making all-out efforts to strengthen cooperation to find solutions to problems.
