Samsung Electronics unveiled its blueprint for the Yongin National Semiconductor Industrial Complex at the SEDEX 2026 exhibition in Seoul. The investment is valued at ₩360 trillion, or approximately $269 billion.
The project aims to build a production network connecting factories, research facilities and suppliers. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2027.
The complex will include six fabrication plants. The first is expected to begin operations in October 2029.
Samsung says the long-term investment is intended to strengthen its position in AI and advanced semiconductors. The complex is also expected to house around 70 other companies across the chip ecosystem, including materials suppliers and fabless design firms.
