Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang visited Seoul National University on Monday to engage with students and showcase the company's AI platforms [1].
The visit highlights Nvidia's strategic effort to promote AI innovation in South Korea and foster relationships with the next generation of engineers.
Huang arrived at the Haedong Advanced Engineering building parking lot around noon [2]. He spent about 15 minutes in a signing session with students [1]. During the event, the CEO wore a university varsity jacket and greeted students in the second-floor hall of the facility [1], [2].
While addressing the students, Huang spoke about the rapid evolution of technology. "Now the entire industry, and the entire world, is changing," Huang said [1].
He specifically addressed the graduating class, noting the unique timing of their entry into the professional world. "I am so envious of you who are graduating at the best time," Huang said [1].
Beyond the greetings, Huang participated in a "Build-a-Claw" AI event [1]. This workshop utilized Nvidia's OpenClaw platform to demonstrate practical applications of artificial intelligence in robotics, and engineering. The event aimed to provide students with hands-on experience using the company's latest tools [1].
In a lighthearted moment during the visit, Huang leaned into the local culture and the excitement of the student body. "From today, call me K-Jensen," Huang said [1].
“"Now the entire industry, and the entire world, is changing,"”
Huang's visit to one of South Korea's most prestigious universities serves as a branding exercise to cement Nvidia's ecosystem within the region's academic pipeline. By deploying the OpenClaw platform in a hands-on environment, Nvidia is ensuring that future engineers are trained on its proprietary architecture, which creates long-term technical dependency and industry alignment in a key semiconductor market.
