Naver Corp., South Korea’s leading internet portal operator, has secured a combined US$10 billion investment commitment from Nvidia and U.S. private equity firm Brookfield.
The capital is designated to finance the company’s expanding artificial intelligence infrastructure projects, marking a significant escalation in the scale of foreign direct investment into the Korean tech sector.
The deal arrives as Nvidia’s market capitalization approaches the $5 trillion threshold, reflecting sustained investor confidence in the global AI infrastructure build-out.

For Naver, the partnership provides both the financial backing and the technological access required to compete in the rapidly evolving data-center landscape.
The involvement of Brookfield, a major global alternative asset manager, signals institutional conviction in the long-term yield potential of AI-related real assets.
This development follows closely on the heels of reports that the CEOs of Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Naver are traveling to the United States for meetings with Nvidia leadership.
