Madison Huang, Senior Vice President of Omniverse and Robotics Product Marketing at NVIDIA and eldest daughter of Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, is scheduled to visit South Korea next month. Given that she has been in continuous discussions with major domestic companies this year regarding collaboration on physical AI (artificial intelligence) and robotics, attention is focused on the possibility of further cooperation.
According to ICT (Information and Communication Technology) industry sources on the 7th, NVIDIA had been discussing a plan for Huang to attend 'NVIDIA AI Day Seoul 2026,' which will be held at COEX in Seoul from the 9th to 10, and recently confirmed her attendance. Although Huang is not expected to deliver a direct presentation in a separate session, she is scheduled to participate in key meetings and presentation schedules during the event period. It was reported that Jensen Huang's CEO revisit to Bank of Korea is currently not planned.
NVIDIA AI Day Seoul is an event where developers, startups, companies, partners, and researchers gather to share the latest AI technologies and industrial application cases. On the first day, the 9th, a total of 15 sessions will be conducted across three tracks centered on physical AI, agentic AI, and AI infrastructure. Twenty domestic and international partners, including Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, SK Telecom, Naver Cloud, LG Electronics, Coupang Intelligent Cloud (CIC), Dell Technologies, Hyundai E&C, Megazone Cloud, and Hancom, will participate.
Physical AI is a particularly notable field at this year's event. Huang oversees Omniverse, a virtual world simulation platform, and robotics product marketing at NVIDIA. Although she will not appear as a direct presenter, attention is focused on discussions of collaboration with domestic companies given her attendance at an event where physical AI is a major agenda item.
Huang has been expanding her connections with domestic companies since the beginning of this year. She visited South Korea in April to discuss physical AI collaboration with Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, LG Electronics, Hyundai Motor, Doosan Robotics, and others. In June, she accompanied Jensen Huang on his visit to South Korea as CEO, and in August, she visited the robotics data factory at LG Electronics' Seoul Yangjae R&D (Research and Development) Campus to review directions for collaboration in the robotics field.
The relationship between NVIDIA and major domestic companies is also becoming closer. Jensen Huang, Lee Jae-yong, Chairman of Samsung Electronics, and Chey Tae-won, Chairman of SK Group, attended the Korea Society's annual gala held in New York, USA, on the 28th of last month (local time). Lee (Chairman) congratulated CEO Huang on receiving the Van Fleet Award and also introduced the connection that both men have daughters named 'Madison.' Choi (Chairman) also emphasized the AI semiconductor collaboration relationship between NVIDIA and SK.
As AI expands beyond data centers into real-world spaces such as robots, factories, and autonomous driving, the scope of collaboration between NVIDIA and domestic companies is broadening. A key point to watch will be how concretely physical AI collaboration with domestic companies will materialize following Huang's current visit to South Korea.
