Samsung Announces $310B Domestic Investment to Bolster AI and Chip Manufacturing
Samsung Electronics unveiled a $310 billion domestic investment plan aimed at cementing South Korea's leadership in AI and next-generation semiconductor technology. The MOVE comes amid concerns that recent U.S. trade agreements could divert manufacturing capacity overseas.
The tech giant will accelerate construction of its Pyeongtaek Line 5 chip plant, targeting 2027 completion for advanced process node production. This strategic pivot reinforces Samsung's dual focus: maintaining domestic manufacturing supremacy while competing globally in AI hardware infrastructure.
