The gathering builds on Nvidia founder and chief executive Jensen Huang's visit to Seoul last month, advancing what the company describes as a full-stack drive to widen Korea's AI infrastructure and expertise as the country angles to become a global hub for AI innovation.
Huang is scheduled to meet Lee on the sidelines of the summit, alongside separate sessions with Korean and American business leaders.
Lee departed Seoul for San Francisco on Friday at the start of a multi-nation overseas trip.
On the eve of the summit, Huang hosted SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won and teams from SK hynix, SK Telecom and Nvidia for dinner in Woodside, California — a warm-weather welcome to Silicon Valley for the visiting Korean executives.
The two companies, longtime partners, said in June they would broaden their collaboration to jointly develop memory for Nvidia platforms spanning AI infrastructure, personal AI and physical AI. SK Telecom separately unveiled plans that month to build AI infrastructure supporting Korean innovation in physical AI and robotics.
Nvidia and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) also announced a joint AI research lab in Seoul dedicated to agentic AI, the first such laboratory between a Korean university and a global technology company.
