NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said on Friday ​that he sees robotics as the ‌next major sector in South Korea.

He was talking to reporters after arriving at Gimpo airport in South ​Korea on a flight from Taiwan.

“Korea ​has many sectors to invest in. Robotics ⁠is going to be the next ​major sector here in Korea,” he said.

Huang said ​he had meetings scheduled with Hyundai, LG, SK, Samsung and Naver during his trip.

“Did I bring any ​gifts for Korea? I brought a lot ​of business for Korea,” he told reporters, adding: “I have ‌some ⁠surprises.”

He said Nvidia will partner with Korea’s manufacturing firms in robotics and AI.

“Because Korea is a manufacturing centre of the world, ​we can apply ​the ⁠robotics technology, the physical AI technology that we invent here for ​the industry,” he said.

“The manufacturing of ​semiconductors ⁠will become increasingly robotics and increasingly AI-driven in the future, and so we have ⁠a ​great opportunity to partner with ​the semiconductor companies here as well.”
