South Korea’s government and 12 of its largest tech, power, and cooling companies have launched a public-private body called the AIDC Alliance. The aim of the group is to build 18.4 gigawatts of AI data centers and turn the country into an exporter of “intelligence tokens.”
What is the AIDC Alliance? The Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) hosted the launch of the newly formed AIDC Alliance at Lotte Hotel Seoul with roughly 400 people from industry, academia, and four government ministries. The alliance is the result of a coalition between South Korea’s government and 12 major companies.
The public-private group aims to build 18.4 gigawatts (GW) of AI data centers and turn the country into an exporter of “intelligence tokens,” which are the raw output of AI computation. Its first private co-chair is Jeong Jae-heon, the chief executive of SK Telecom (KRX: 017670) and the chairman of the Korea Information and Communication Industry Association.
Alongside SK Telecom (KRX: 017670), the leadership group names Naver Cloud, Samsung SDS (KRX: 018260), NHN Cloud, LS Electric, LG Uplus (KRX: 032640), LG Electronics (KRX: 066570), GS (KRX: 078930), Kakao (KRX: 035720), KT (KRX: 030200), KT NF, and the chip designer FuriosaAI. Work is divided into three subcommittees and an export task force. Naver Cloud tests domestic data-center technology and helps local firms build delivery records they can show foreign buyers.
LG Electronics (KRX: 066570) focuses on localizing power, cooling, and IT equipment. Kakao (KRX: 035720) tackles permits and siting and workforce training, with the state-run IITP acting as secretariat. The alliance exists to carry out the “AI Data Center National Strategy Industrialization” plan, which Seoul unveiled on June 29 as one of three megaprojects.
Beyond the 18.4GW build target, the plan covers clusters, large testbeds, and exports of the upstream and downstream industries that feed data centers. The AIDC’s subcommittees and the task force will draw up road
