South Korean industry and government have secured a major hardware boost as Nvidia will deliver more than 260,000 of its flagship “Blackwell” AI chips to the Republic of Korea in a partnership spanning the public sector and major corporations. The deal, announced during the Asia‑Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in Gyeongju on 31 October, positions South Korea as a rising artificial-intelligence hub and reflects Nvidia’s pivot amid shifting global semiconductor geopolitics.

The agreement covers deployments across multiple sectors: the government will obtain roughly 50,000 of Nvidia’s GPUs for its National AI Computing Centre; top chip-maker Samsung Electronics and conglomerate SK Group are each set to install about 50,000 units; automaker Hyundai Motor Group another 50,000; and internet-giant Naver Corporation around 60,000.

Nvidia’s chief executive, Jensen Huang, described the arrangement as an opportunity to “produce intelligence as a new export” for South Korea—drawing on its track record in electronics, ships and cars. He met President Lee Jae Myung and leading industrial executives during APEC’s leader-week, underpinning the deal’s strategic importance.

For South Korea the timing is critical. The country’s ambition to become one of the world’s top three AI powerhouses is tied to this surge in computing capacity. Officials estimate that the new GPU stock will raise South Korea’s installed AI-chip inventory from roughly 65,000 to over 300,000 units—more than a four-fold increase.

The motive spans multiple strands. Domestically, the government has signalled its intent through a budget push to triple AI-related spending to 10.1 trillion won in the 2026 fiscal year, with AI infrastructure now a key focus alongside semiconductors, autos and ship-building. Meanwhile, on the global stage, the transaction reflects Nvidia’s response to US export restrictions targeting China: by deepening partnerships with allied economies, Nvidia hedges market access and secures demand beyond geopolitical risk zones.

Industry commentators note the strategic value for South Korea’s private sector. Samsung’s aim to build an AI-factory on the back of these chips and Hyundai’s plan to apply them in autonomous driving and smart factories indicate a broad industrial integration of AI hardware. SK Group’s creation of an industrial-AI cloud, together with Naver’s scaling of its model-training infrastructure, further illustrate the ecosystem approach.

However, risks remain. The logistics of deploying such volumes of high-performance chips across multiple sectors present challenges in cooling, power supply and skilled workforce capabilities. Moreover, the influx of foreign hardware raises questions about long-term sovereignty of critical AI infrastructure—South Korea may become reliant on external chip providers even as it strives to build home-grown strength. Some analysts caution that building capacity alone does not always translate into global leadership in AI.

Another layer of uncertainty stems from the export environment. US policy is tightening its grip on shipments of Nvidia’s most advanced chips to China and other countries. While the South Korean deal has been approved, shifts in global regulation or export licences could affect timelines or chip-variants supplied.

For the key players in South Korea the stakes are substantial. Samsung and SK are leveraging this infusion to advance semiconductor development and edge-computing systems. Hyundai is tackling next-generation vehicle autonomy. Naver and Kakao increasingly rely on large-scale model training—now anchored to the new hardware. At a national level, the government aims to unlock innovation, jobs and exports through “sovereign AI” infrastructure under domestic control.

In global context, South Korea’s move places it firmly within the push by middle powers to stake out a significant role in the AI value chain, not merely as chip supplier but as a platform developer and services export economy. For Nvidia it reinforces its global reach and market dominance at a time when alternatives seek to challenge its position. The magnitude of the chip deployment and its industrial-strategic alignment make this one of the most consequential AI-hardware partnerships of the year.

Saudi Arabia’s flagship New Murabba project is poised to become a major investment hub, with plans to attract capital in technology, real estate, and construction sectors. Michael Dyke, the CEO of New Murabba, announced the initiative at the Fortune Global Forum in Riyadh, marking a significant step forward in the kingdom’s diversification strategy.

Launched in 2023 by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the New Murabba project is part of Saudi Arabia’s broader Vision 2030, aimed at reducing the nation’s reliance on oil revenues by fostering new industries and boosting economic growth. The initiative aims to transform the heart of Riyadh into a sprawling mixed-use urban area, poised to redefine the cityscape with a mix of residential, commercial, and entertainment offerings.

The project will cover an area of 19 square kilometres, positioning it as one of the largest urban developments globally. Its scale is unprecedented, making it one of the most ambitious projects in Saudi Arabia’s recent history. The new district is expected to accommodate over 100,000 residents and create hundreds of thousands of jobs in various sectors, significantly contributing to Riyadh’s economic development.

One of the key areas that Dyke highlighted during his speech at the forum is the focus on technology. The New Murabba project aims to integrate cutting-edge technological innovations into its design and infrastructure. The development will feature smart city technologies, including AI-driven systems for traffic management, energy conservation, and public services. Moreover, the project is expected to foster a thriving ecosystem for tech startups and established companies, making it an attractive destination for both domestic and international tech investors.

The project’s real estate and construction sectors will also play a pivotal role. With residential spaces, luxury hotels, office towers, and retail outlets planned, the project is designed to meet the needs of a diverse range of residents, businesses, and tourists. This focus on mixed-use developments aims to create a self-sustaining urban area, with a heavy emphasis on sustainability and green architecture. Additionally, the construction phase alone is expected to generate significant economic activity, providing a substantial number of jobs in the kingdom’s building sector.

New Murabba’s strategic location within Riyadh further boosts its potential as a central business and cultural district. It will be positioned in close proximity to key landmarks, including the King Abdulaziz Historical Centre and the King Saud University, enhancing its accessibility and making it a focal point for both locals and visitors. The project’s proximity to the King Khalid International Airport is also expected to make it a prime location for international businesses, especially in the tech and tourism industries.

The Saudi government’s backing of the New Murabba initiative signals a strong commitment to its diversification efforts. As part of the Vision 2030 programme, the kingdom is looking to foster a more sustainable and diversified economy, moving away from its dependence on oil exports. This development aligns with broader trends in urbanisation across the Middle East, where large-scale projects are shaping the future of cities and driving economic change.

The investment opportunities presented by New Murabba are expected to attract a wide range of investors from various sectors. For real estate developers, the sheer scale of the project represents an unparalleled opportunity. For technology firms, the integration of smart city technologies offers a unique environment in which to develop and test innovative solutions. Meanwhile, the construction sector stands to benefit greatly from the demand for infrastructure and buildings, with the long-term potential for growth in both residential and commercial spaces.

With the Saudi government’s push for private sector involvement, the New Murabba project is expected to be a catalyst for further investments in the kingdom. The involvement of international investors and companies will be crucial to its success, with the project acting as a gateway to other opportunities within Saudi Arabia’s growing economy.

Riyadh is advancing its push into artificial intelligence, sidestepping some of the previous fanfare around the massive urban-megaproject Neom, and signalling a new strategic pivot by its sovereign wealth arm Public Investment Fund. The fund is repositioning to attract global AI investment, deepen partnerships with major tech players and harness data-centre infrastructure at scale.

The kingdom’s leadership is steering resources away from grand construction ambitions to technology-driven growth. The newly formed Humain — a PIF-backed AI company — was launched in May with the mission of establishing Saudi Arabia as a global hub for AI. The firm plans to build advanced data centres, cloud services and one of the world’s most powerful Arabic large-language models.

Strategic deals have followed. U. S. chip-maker Nvidia has agreed to ship some 18,000 Blackwell chips to Saudi Arabia to support a 500-megawatt data-centre facility coordinated by Humain. PIF and international analysts say the move reflects a shift in focus: less emphasis on sprawling “giga-projects” of construction, more on the digital-infrastructure layer that underpins a future knowledge-economy.

Globally, transformative AI applications — from generative-AI language models to edge computing in industries — require vast compute power, energy and state coordination. PIF’s governor Yasir Al‑Rumayyan has said the kingdom is well-placed, given its energy resources and large-scale capital, to become a “hub outside the U. S.” for AI development. Analysts suggest the pivot acknowledges market realities: mega-cities like Neom have proved slower to materialise than envisaged, while digital-economy bets offer faster, more measurable returns.

The megacity Neom and its flagship component – The Line – have faced scepticism over timelines, cost-overruns and foreign investor pull-back. Executive reshuffles in Neom’s leadership and recalibrated investment priorities have signalled the shift. Meanwhile, PIF has begun trimming the proportion of its portfolio allocated to global investments — moving foreign-allocation toward 18 per cent from previous targets — to double-down on domestic strategic sectors like AI.

The investment case for Saudi Arabia is sizeable. Humain aims to tap into the Arab-language market of over 450 million people, while deploying data-centre capacity measured in gigawatts. Academic and industry voices say the kingdom has already built one of the strongest AI-ready physical infrastructures in the Middle East: multiple super-computers, data centres and training programmes are in motion. On the human-capital front, programmes to train 20,000 data/AI experts by 2030 are underway through partnerships with international firms such as Microsoft, Accenture and Huawei Technologies.

For global tech firms and investors, Saudi Arabia’s offer now centres around “sovereign AI infrastructure” rather than purely construction or real-estate play. The deal with Nvidia is seen as precedent-setting: Nvidia’s CEO told reporters that AI infrastructure is “essential infrastructure” akin to power and internet. Moreover, the shift aligns with the kingdom’s broader strategic framework Vision 2030 — which seeks to reduce oil-dependence and build a diversified economy.

Nevertheless, risks remain. Observers caution that the AI ambition is spectacular in scale yet faces operational and regulatory challenges — from data-governance to talent retention and ideological scrutiny. The push may also attract geopolitical scrutiny given the involvement of U. S. technology in Saudi infrastructure. The earlier mega-project model illustrates how bold vision can be slowed by delivery hurdles.
