President Yoon Seok-yeol promised to prepare bold support measures to dominate the AI semiconductor market.
On the 9th, President Yoon presided over a meeting to review semiconductor issues at the Yongsan Presidential Office and said, “Spring for semiconductors has returned as semiconductor exports last month reached $11.6 billion, the highest in 21 months.”
He continued, “The earthquake that occurred in Taiwan on the 3rd is raising concerns about the global semiconductor supply chain,” and added, “The impact on our companies is not significant yet. However, as the future situation is difficult to predict, we must prepare thoroughly without any gaps,” he ordered.
President Yoon first promised bold support measures for the semiconductor industry.
He said, “Currently, the world’s semiconductor powers are waging a silent, gunless war to secure AI semiconductors specialized in learning large amounts of data and reasoning using it.” He added, “We are working hard to ensure that Korea can secure an early lead in the future landscape of the semiconductor market.” “We need to carefully review our strategies,” he emphasized.
He also said, “Our country already has global competitiveness not only in hardware, including semiconductors and digital devices, but also in the digital field, including AI models and utilization,” and “Korean companies are ranked first and second in the world in the field of high-bandwidth memory semiconductors, which are essential for AI systems. . “In the artificial neural network process NPU field, which is in its early stages, many domestic Famless companies are standing out based on their technological prowess,” he explained.
In addition, “There are not many countries that have both hardware manufacturing and software development and utilization capabilities,” he said. “We will pursue the AI semiconductor initiative to enable our country to leap to G3 in AI technology and dominate the future AI semiconductor market beyond memory semiconductors.” professed.
President Yoon said, “The semiconductor competition taking place now is an industrial war and an all-out national war. “We must have an all-out response system equivalent to a wartime situation,” he said, promising, “We will conduct a comprehensive comparative analysis of the investment environments and support systems of major countries to prepare bold support measures tailored to our country’s circumstances.”
Specifically, he said, “We will boldly expand R&D investment in Korean-style AI semiconductors based on P-HBM, which adds processing functions to high-bandwidth memory HBM, artificial neural network process NPU, and neuromorphic,” and “Korean-style low-power, high-performance AI semiconductors.” “We will evolve K Cloud, a supercomputing data center, and apply on-device AI to lead the global market with standalone smart devices that can be used without a PC or smartphone connection,” he emphasized.
The early start of construction of the Yongin industrial complex was also mentioned. President Yoon said, “The Yongin National Industrial Complex will begin construction in 2026, as promised at the People’s Livelihood Forum,” and added, “We will quickly complete related procedures and more than double the time-consuming procedures such as environmental impact assessment and land compensation, completing them by half.” It will be completed ahead of time. He also pledged that the government will take responsibility for supplying electricity and industrial water, which are essential for creating a semiconductor mega cluster.
He also said, “To this end, we will invest 9.4 trillion won in the AI and AI semiconductor fields by 2027 and create a fund worth 1.4 trillion won to help the growth of AI semiconductor innovation companies.” He added, “By 2030, when the semiconductor mega cluster will be in full operation, He also said, “We will do our best to achieve more than 10% of system semiconductor market share in 2018.”
