NVIDIA Expands Korea AI Strategy With Investments in Point2, Motif, RLWRLD and Upstage
NVIDIA announced new planned investments in Korean artificial intelligence startups, expanding its exposure across AI infrastructure, foundation models, enterprise software and robotics.
The company confirmed an investment in Point2 Technology and said additional investments are planned in Motif Technologies, RLWRLD and Upstage. The announcement came during the MSIT-NVIDIA AI Startup Partnership Forum in Seoul, hosted with Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT.
Point2 develops radio-frequency interconnect technology designed to move data between chips and racks in AI factories, offering an alternative to conventional copper and optical connections. Motif Technologies develops foundation models for AI agents, while RLWRLD is building robotics foundation models for humanoid and industrial robots performing complex physical tasks.
Upstage focuses on enterprise AI, including its Solar language models and document AI tools for extracting information and automating business workflows.
The investments broaden NVIDIA’s engagement across the full AI stack, from data-center infrastructure to software and physical AI. They also deepen the company’s relationship with Korea’s technology ecosystem, where more than 1,000 startups already participate in the NVIDIA Inception program.
The initiative reinforces NVIDIA’s strategy of supporting companies that could expand demand for AI computing infrastructure while accelerating development of agentic AI, robotics and next-generation AI factories.
