Chey Tae-won, chairman of SK Group, is accelerating efforts to dominate the global artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem by solidifying partnerships with Foxconn, following a similar agreement with TSMC.

On June 3, local time, Chey met with Foxconn Chairman Liu Yangwei in Taipei to discuss collaboration aimed at enhancing next-generation AI infrastructure competitiveness.

Foxconn is the world's largest electronics contract manufacturer and is currently supplying AI servers to major global tech companies in response to the growing demand for AI data centers.

This meeting is significant as it highlights Chey's direct involvement in strengthening infrastructure competitiveness through collaborations with global firms. SK plans to solidify its technological competitiveness in the global market based on innovations in next-generation AI memory technology.

Additionally, both companies exchanged views on robotics, energy management, and battery technology. They agreed to explore future collaboration opportunities by combining SK Group's energy technology foundation with Foxconn's strengths in global manufacturing, system integration, and AI applications.
