Naver widens France AI ties with Europe-focused factory push

Naver is expanding its artificial intelligence (AI) collaborations with France, aiming to create AI factories that European companies and startups can utilize. During President Lee Jae Myung's visit to France, Naver CEO Choi Soo-yeon and Naver Cloud CEO Kim Yu-won met with executives from various French companies and institutions in sectors like media, IT, energy, mobility, and finance.

Naver plans to leverage France’s stable energy infrastructure and its expertise in building AI ecosystems to develop AI factories. The company is focusing on three key areas of cooperation: global AI infrastructure, industry-specific AI systems built around data sovereignty and security, and cultural content. Naver has already announced plans to build over 1 gigawatt of global AI factory capacity in partnership with Nvidia and Brookfield.
