Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to Attend APEC Summit in South Korea

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang plans to meet “global leaders and top Korean executives” when he attends the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CEO Summit in South Korea this month, the U.S. AI chipmaker said in a recent statement, Hyunjoo Jin reported for Reuters.

“Huang will participate in activities to underscore Nvidia’s work to advance technology and drive growth in Korea and worldwide through AI, robotics, digital twins, and autonomous vehicles,” Nvidia said.

The CEO event, running from October 28 to 31, will be held in parallel with the annual APEC leaders’ summit, where heads of the forum’s 21 member economies will gather.

Huang is expected to meet with top executives at Korea’s Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, which produce memory chips used in AI data centers. Samsung declined to comment, while SK Hynix was not immediately available for comment.

Last month, China accused Nvidia of violating the country’s anti-monopoly law—the latest escalation in its trade war with the United States, which has made the chipmaker a collateral casualty.
