Samsung Electronics organized a significant event on Monday, gathering around 170 executives from Hyundai Motor Group to enhance collaboration in automotive technology. This unprecedented 'Appreciation Day' at Samsung's training center in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, marks a pivotal moment in the partnership between two of South Korea's largest conglomerates, focusing on automotive chips, batteries, and robotics.
The event underscores the growing commercial relationship between Samsung and Hyundai, particularly in the realm of electric and connected vehicles. Samsung SDI's supply of prismatic batteries for Hyundai's electric vehicles, including the Genesis GV90, and the collaboration on autonomous-driving chips highlight the strategic importance of this partnership. Additionally, their joint efforts to integrate Hyundai and Kia vehicles with Samsung's SmartThings platform demonstrate a commitment to innovation in automotive technology.
Samsung and Hyundai's collaboration is set to evolve further, with a notable milestone in February 2025 when they signed an agreement to jointly develop high-performance batteries for service robots. This partnership, which has grown since 2020, reflects a significant shift in their business ties, previously limited after Samsung's exit from car manufacturing in the 1990s.
