Korea AIDC Industry Is Warming Up | AI Summit Seoul 2026

Walking through AI SUMMIT SEOUL & EXPO 2026 at COEX in Seoul on August 19, one thing became clear. Korea’s AI Data Center, or AIDC, industry is beginning to move into a more serious development stage. Compared with the United States or Taiwan, Korea does not yet have a fully mature ecosystem for large-scale AI servers and data centers. For now, it is still a warm-up stage. But that is exactly why this moment matters.

From A100 to Rubin and Beyond: NVIDIA’s GPU Roadmap Is Rewriting AI Power and Cooling Infrastructure

NVIDIA’s AI GPU roadmap is no longer just a semiconductor story. From the 400W-class A100 to 700W Hopper GPUs, 14.3 kW DGX B200 systems and roughly 120 kW GB200 NVL72 racks, each generation is pushing more power and heat into a smaller physical footprint. As Blackwell Ultra, Vera Rubin, Rubin CPX and eventually Feynman extend this trajectory, power-supply modules, liquid cooling, rack manifolds and electrical distribution are becoming as strategically important as the GPU itself.

2026 OCP Korea Tech Day: Korea’s AI Data Center Ecosystem Moves Toward Open Infrastructure and Liquid Cooling

Held at COEX in Seoul on August 21, 2026, OCP Korea Tech Day highlighted how AI infrastructure is rapidly moving toward open standards, higher rack density and advanced liquid cooling. For Korea, the next opportunity may be not only adopting global technologies, but also building more of the critical cooling infrastructure locally.
