South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has vowed to secure the nation's dominance in semiconductors and artificial intelligence through a large-scale investment package, positioning the country at a critical juncture for industrial advancement.

The announcement signals a decisive escalation in state support for the technology sector, aiming to counter growing competitive pressures from global rivals.

President Lee emphasized that the upcoming investment package is designed to drive a "great leap forward" for the economy.

The government’s strategy centers on fortifying the domestic semiconductor supply chain and accelerating AI infrastructure development.

By committing substantial capital, Seoul intends to maintain its status as a global leader in chip manufacturing and advanced computing.

This move is expected to provide a significant tailwind for local industry players, reinforcing investor confidence in the sector's long-term growth trajectory.
