The Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Korea, in partnership with WSP, invites you to an exclusive roundtable, “Evolution of Data Center Markets in Korea and Beyond”.

As Korea positions itself as a critical player in the global AI ecosystem, the development of advanced data infrastructure has become a strategic priority. This expert-led session will bring together industry leaders to examine the fast-evolving landscape of AI infrastructure, geopolitical pressures, and strategic challenges shaping the future of digital infrastructure in Korea.

A central focus will be the viability of Korea’s most ambitious AI data center proposal to date: Fir Hills’ planned 3GW campus in Jeollanam-do. The roundtable will explore the potential of this development while examining broader market and structural considerations, including:
 

• Can the Fir Hills 3GW AI data center be built and operational by 2028? Is there sufficient AI demand in Korea to justify such a large-scale infrastructure project? Can operators successfully build and run hyperscale data centers in Jeollanam-do?

• What is the expected trajectory for AI infrastructure in Korea?

• Will Large Language Model (LLM) training remain in Korea or shift to lower-cost countries?

• With an aging population and youth concentrating in the Seoul Metropolitan Area, can remote sites source enough skilled operators?

• What impact could renewed U.S. tariffs (“Trump tariffs”) have on Korea's data center industry?

 

Join us for this timely conversation and gain valuable insights into the future of AI-driven infrastructure in Korea and beyond.

Stick around afterward for networking and refreshments.
