Samsung SDS breaks ground on AI data center in Gumi

Samsung SDS has commenced construction on an AI data center in Gumi, North Gyeongsang Province, as part of Samsung Group's 60 trillion won ($44.6 billion) investment plan for the Yeongnam region. The facility, located on a 46,000-square-meter site in Gongdan-dong, will initially have a power capacity of 60 megawatts, with the potential to expand to 120 MW.

The project, which began after Gumi City approved it in late August, is scheduled for completion by the end of 2028. This AI data center is a key component of Samsung's broader strategy to establish Yeongnam as a global hub for physical AI innovation, alongside investments in humanoid robots, AI data centers, batteries, advanced packaging substrates, and high-value-added vessels across various South Korean provinces.
