Samsung Electronics announced on Monday that it hosted a large-scale event inviting executives from Hyundai Motor Group, aimed at strengthening business ties and expanding cooperation beyond auto parts into emerging fields such as robotics, energy, and embodied artificial intelligence (AI).
The event, titled "Hyundai Motor Group Thanks Day," took place at the Samsung training center in Yongin, south of Seoul.
A total of 177 people attended, including Hyundai Motor Group Vice Chairman Jang Jae-hoon, executives and senior leaders from affiliates of both groups, as well as their spouses.
This gathering marked the first time the tech giant has hosted such a large-scale exchange event for executives of another major South Korean conglomerate.
In his welcoming remarks, Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman and head of the semiconductor business Jun Young-hyun said, "Hyundai Motor Group and Samsung have always been trusted partners, jointly writing the history of Korea's industrial development."
"I hope that Hyundai Motor Group's innovative vision for leading future mobility and Samsung Group's technological capabilities spanning the entire industry chain from components to end products can converge, creating new value and opening up infinite possibilities," he said.
