NAVER, NVIDIA and Brookfield to expand Korea's national AI factory buildout
NAVER, NVIDIA and Brookfield are set to expand the buildout of Korea's national AI factory infrastructure, according to the title of an NVIDIA announcement dated September 28, 2026. The text available for this report did not include the body of the release, so specifics are not yet confirmed.
- NAVER, NVIDIA and Brookfield are to expand Korea's national AI factory infrastructure buildout, per the NVIDIA headline.
- The announcement is dated September 28, 2026.
- The source text available contained no body, so investment size, capacity and timelines are not known.
- NVIDIA's newsroom lists other recent items, including a $150 billion share repurchase authorization increase.
What the announcement says
The only information available from the source is its headline: NAVER, NVIDIA and Brookfield to Expand Korea's National AI Factory Infrastructure Buildout. It names three parties and describes the subject as Korea's national AI factory infrastructure, and it says the existing buildout is to be expanded.
The source text provided did not contain the body of the press release. Details such as the scale of the expansion, the amount of investment, the number of GPUs, locations, timelines and the role each company will play are therefore not known from this material, and none are stated here.
Other NVIDIA announcements from the same period
The NVIDIA newsroom page lists several other items from the same weeks, which gives some context for the company's activity at the time:
- An increase of its share repurchase authorization by $150 billion, dated September 28, 2026.
- The launch of an Open Agent Safety Platform to secure agents from testing to deployment, dated September 28, 2026.
- An expansion of the open source CUDA-Q platform for fault-tolerant quantum computing, dated September 14, 2026.
- A collaboration with Palantir on sovereign intelligence for critical supply chains, dated September 10, 2026.
- An expansion of AI infrastructure capacity in partnership with Australia's data center ecosystem, dated September 9, 2026.
The Australia item, like the Korea headline, points to NVIDIA working with national or regional infrastructure partners, though the source gives no further detail on either.
What to watch
Until the full release is available, the practical meaning of the Korea announcement cannot be assessed. Readers should look to NVIDIA's newsroom for the full text, which should set out what NAVER, NVIDIA and Brookfield each contribute and how large the expansion is. This article will need updating once those details are confirmed.
