Seoul: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is set to make a significant appearance at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CEO Summit in South Korea later this month, bringing global attention to the company’s role in artificial intelligence and advanced technology. Scheduled from October 28 to 31, the summit runs parallel to the APEC Leaders’ Forum, where heads of 21 member economies will convene.
During the summit, Huang is expected to engage with top executives from leading Korean firms, including Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, both key players in memory chip production crucial for AI data centers. Nvidia stated that Huang will participate in discussions and activities aimed at showcasing the company’s contributions to AI, robotics, autonomous vehicles, and digital twin technology, emphasizing the potential for innovation-driven growth in Korea and across the Asia-Pacific region.
The summit comes amid heightened geopolitical and trade tensions between the United States and China. Last month, China accused Nvidia of violating anti-monopoly regulations, adding a layer of complexity to the ongoing U.S.-China trade dynamics. U.S. President Donald Trump, who will also attend the event, is scheduled to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping, with prospects of a potential trade deal on the agenda.
Nvidia’s participation at the APEC CEO Summit underscores the company’s strategy to strengthen international partnerships while promoting technological leadership in AI and high-performance computing. The CEO’s interactions with Korean executives could further solidify collaborations essential for the growth of AI infrastructure in the region.
As global economic and technological challenges converge at the summit, Huang’s presence symbolizes the growing role of corporate leadership in shaping innovation policy, cross-border collaboration, and the future of AI-driven economies in the Asia-Pacific landscape.
