In November 2025, South Korean tech giant Samsung Electronics unveiled a massive $310 billion investment plan for the next five years. The majority of this funding will be directed towards technologies powering artificial intelligence, as the company seeks to capitalize on the global AI boom.
As part of the investment, Samsung plans to build a new semiconductor facility, Pyeongtaek Plant 5, designed to meet the surging demand for memory chips. Once operational in 2028, the Pyeongtaek plant is expected to play a crucial role in both the global semiconductor supply chain and South Korea's domestic chip ecosystem.
Additionally, Samsung's IT and logistics arm, Samsung SDS, will establish two new AI data centers in South Jeolla and Gumi, further strengthening the company's AI capabilities. The investment package also includes plans for Samsung SDI, the group's electric vehicle battery affiliate, to explore the creation of a domestic production line for next-generation batteries, including all-solid-state models.
