Nvidia announced an investment in Point2 Technology and planned investments in three other startups at the MSIT-Nvidia AI Startup Partnership Forum at COEX on 9 November, the company’s newsroom said.

Nvidia and Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT hosted the MSIT-Nvidia AI Startup Partnership Forum at COEX. Ryu Je-myung, the ministry’s vice minister, joined Nvidia leaders to meet more than 20 Korean startups working across models, robotics, AI infrastructure and semiconductors.

Point2 develops radio frequency-based connections to move data between chips and racks in AI facilities. The three companies named for planned investments are Motif Technologies, which develops models for AI agents; RLWRLD, which works on robotics models; and Upstage, which makes Solar language models and document AI tools for businesses.

Nvidia said more than 1,000 Korea-based startups belong to Inception, its programme offering preferred pricing, technical expertise and opportunities for introductions to investors.
