Why HD Hyundai Electric Is Riding the AI Boom Editor's Note Artificial intelligence is creating one of the largest infrastructure investment cycles in decades. While companies like NVIDIA, SK hynix, and Samsung Electronics dominate headlines, another group of businesses is quietly becoming indispensable: power infrastructure suppliers. Every AI data center requires transformers, switchgear, substations, and high-voltage electrical equipment before a single GPU can operate. Among Korean companies, HD Hyundai Electric has emerged as one of the biggest beneficiaries of this global investment trend. This article explains why HD Hyundai Electric could become one of South Korea's most important AI infrastructure companies over the next decade. Introduction Artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing the way the world consumes electricity. Training and operating large AI models require enormous computing power, which in turn demands reliable and scalable el...

Why NAVER Could Become Korea's AI Software Champion Editor's Note When investors think about South Korea's AI industry, semiconductor companies such as SK hynix and Samsung Electronics usually dominate the conversation.
