South Korea Telecom Cloud Market Trends:

AI Compute Push in Telecom Cloud

South Korea’s telecom cloud sector is seeing stronger support for high-performance AI workloads. A new offering powered by GPUs and run through a local data center is making serious AI computing muscle more accessible to researchers, startups, and businesses. This aligns with the country’s big push to strengthen its standing in global AI development by removing barriers to cutting-edge hardware. With reliable local infrastructure, faster deployment, and growing industry backing, South Korean developers and companies can train, test, and deploy AI solutions more competitively. The push supports the country’s ambition to build an ecosystem where advanced AI services aren’t held back by limited compute power, helping drive fresh ideas and breakthroughs across sectors. These factors are intensifying the South Korea telecom cloud market growth. For example, in August 2024, Lambda partnered with SK Telecom to launch a GPU-powered AI cloud service in South Korea. The service would run through SK Broadband’s Gasan data center, boosting local AI infrastructure for businesses, startups, and researchers. Lambda’s goal is to make advanced AI compute widely available, tapping into South Korea’s fast-growing AI sector with SK Telecom’s support to strengthen the country’s position in the global AI market.

Big Bet on Localized AI and Cloud Growth

A major long-term agreement aims to lift South Korea’s AI and cloud capabilities through joint investment and shared expertise. One side commits significant funding to AI, cloud, and IT upgrades, while the other brings global infrastructure and skilled talent to the table. The plan focuses on building tailored AI tools for the Korean market, developing secure domestic cloud offerings, and setting up an AI-focused service provider to speed up adoption across industries. Expanding research and development is central to the push, along with modernizing traditional telecom services into high-value AI and ICT solutions. This move underlines a bigger national push to become a stronger AI player by merging local demand with global tech strength. For instance, in September 2024, KT Corporation and Microsoft signed a five-year multibillion-dollar deal to boost South Korea’s AI and cloud sector. KT would invest in AI, cloud, and IT, while Microsoft would provide infrastructure and talent. The partnership targets customized AI for Korea, sovereign cloud solutions, an AI transformation service company, stronger AI R&D, and KT’s shift toward advanced AI and ICT services.
