Madison Huang, senior director of product marketing for Omniverse and robotics at Nvidia and the eldest daughter of Chief Executive Jensen Huang, plans to visit South Korea as early as next month to discuss partnerships with Upstage and other startup executives.
Kim Sung-hoon, chief executive of Upstage, told reporters on the 18th at AI Product Frontier, a practitioner forum on AI product development hosted by Channel Corporation, that he had learned of the trip while meeting with Huang last week. "As early as October or November, we expect her to come to Korea and meet a wide range of industry figures, including startups," Kim said.
Huang had invited Kim to Nvidia's headquarters in California on the 14th of this month to discuss cooperation between the two companies. Kim described the meeting on social media at the time, saying the two had discussed five areas of potential collaboration involving Upstage. "Some of what we discussed is new, and some of it is unconventional," Kim said. "Talks are under way, and we should be able to make an official announcement once the details are finalized."
Huang accompanied her father on his trip to South Korea in June and is said to have been deeply involved in preparing his visits for a second straight year. In August she also visited LG Electronics' LG Data Factory, where she met Ryu Jae-cheol, chief executive of LG Electronics, and Hyun Shin-kyun, chief executive of LG CNS, to discuss cooperation on AI infrastructure and robotics.
