Hyundai Motor Group is intensifying its AI data center project in Korea with the inauguration of the HMG Saemangeum Office in Gunsan, North Jeolla Province. This office will lead the initiative, which includes two special purpose companies focused on hyperscale construction and high-performance computing services. The project aims to enhance Hyundai's capabilities in autonomous driving, robotics, and manufacturing AI.
The establishment of the Saemangeum office is a significant step in Hyundai's strategic transition from a traditional automaker to a technology-driven company. The initiative is part of the broader 9 trillion won ($6.72 billion) Saemangeum AI Valley project, which integrates renewable energy and advanced technologies. The investment underscores Hyundai's commitment to developing a robust computing infrastructure for its R&D efforts.
Hyundai plans to break ground on the AI data center in March, with operations expected to commence in early 2030. The facility will serve as a supercomputing hub for training autonomous driving algorithms and enhancing robotics capabilities. The company is also exploring partnerships with global firms like Nvidia to strengthen its infrastructure and cloud integration efforts.
